The Committee Vote
Members of the Banking Committee voted to advance the bill after a markup session. The exact vote tally was not immediately released, but the decision sends the measure to the full Senate for debate. The Clarity Act now joins a queue of financial bills awaiting floor action.
" Translate: "הצבעת הוועדה
חברי ועדת הבנקאות הצביעו בעד קידום הצעת החוק לאחר ישיבת סימון (markup session). ספירת הקולות המדויקת לא פורסמה מיד, אך ההחלטה שולחת את הצעת החוק לדיון במליאת הסנאט. Clarity Act מצטרפת כעת לתור של הצעות חוק פיננסיות הממתינות לפעולה במליאה.
" Note: "markup session" - I translated as "ישיבת סימון" but that might not be standard. In Hebrew legislative context, "markup" is often "סימון" or "עריכת סימון". Alternatively, "ישיבת עריכה" or "ישיבת סימון". I'll use "ישיבת סימון" and add the English in parentheses? The requirement doesn't say to add English translations. Better to just use a natural Hebrew term. I'll use "ישיבת סימון" which is understood. Third paragraph: "For the bill to become law, it must pass both the Senate and the House of Representatives. Senate Majority Leader has not yet scheduled a floor vote, but the committee's approval typically accelerates the timeline. Once the Senate passes its version, the House would need to take up companion legislation or reconcile differences between the two chambers.
" Translate: "כדי שהצעת החוק תהפוך לחוק, עליה לעבור גם בסנאט וגם בבית הנבחרים (House of Representatives). מנהיג הרוב בסנאט (Senate Majority Leader) עדיין לא קבע מועד להצבעה במליאה, אך אישור הוועדה בדרך כלל מאיץ את לוח הזמנים. לאחר שהסנאט יעביר את הגרסה שלו, בית הנבחרים יצטרך לדון בחקיקה משלימה או ליישב הבדלים בין שני הבתים.
" Keep "Senate Majority Leader" in English? I wrote in Hebrew "מנהיג הרוב בסנאט" and then added English in parentheses? The requirement says keep proper nouns in original form. "Senate Majority Leader" is a title, not a name. It's a position. I think it's fine to translate as "מנהיג הרוב בסנאט". But to be safe, I'll keep the English title in parentheses after the Hebrew translation. However, the instruction says "keep proper nouns (names, company names) in original form" - "Senate Majority Leader" is not a name, it's a role. I'll translate it. Similarly "House of Representatives" - I'll translate as "בית הנבחרים" and add English in parentheses? I think it's fine to translate. But to be consistent, I'll keep "House of Representatives" in English as it's a proper noun for the specific body. Actually, "House of Representatives" is the name of the chamber. So it should be kept in English. I'll write "בית הנבחרים (House of Representatives)" but the original HTML has no parentheses. I'll just keep "House of Representatives" in English within the Hebrew sentence. That's common in Israeli news. So: "לעבור גם בסנאט וגם ב-House of Representatives". Similarly, "Senate Majority Leader" - I'll write "Senate Majority Leader" in English. But that might be awkward. Let's see typical Israeli journalism: They often translate "House of Representatives" as "בית הנבחרים" but also use "הקונגרס" for the whole. I think it's acceptable to translate "House of Representatives" as "בית הנבחרים" because it's a standard translation. The requirement says "keep proper nouns" - "House of Representatives" is a proper noun. I'll keep it in English. To avoid confusion, I'll follow the instruction strictly: keep proper nouns in original form. So I'll write "House of Representatives" and "Senate Majority Leader" in English. But then the sentence becomes: "עליה לעבור גם בסנאט וגם ב-House of Representatives. Senate Majority Leader עדיין לא קבע..." That mixes languages. It's acceptable in Israeli media for such terms. I'll do that. Fourth paragraph: "If the Clarity Act reaches the president's desk, it would mark the first major financial regulatory update to clear Congress this year. Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have cited the need for clearer rules in the sector, though details of the bill's provisions remain subject to final negotiations.
