CLARITY Act gains second law enforcement endorsement before Senate pushThe Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association expressed support for the CLARITY Act but urged changes to the legislation’s language.
The Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association (FLEOA) has become the second major U.S. law enforcement group to endorse the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (CLARITY Act), while urging revisions to enhance accountability in decentralized finance (DeFi) and protect investigative powers. Their support, following that of the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives (NOBLE), aims to counter concerns that the Act could weaken law enforcement's ability to combat crypto crime. FLEOA called for narrowing DeFi protections, clarifying accountability, and ensuring the bill does not limit existing federal investigative authority. The endorsement arrives shortly before the Senate’s August recess, viewed as a critical deadline for passing the legislation.
