According to PANews, the Senate Banking Committee's Republican members have encountered delays in advancing the market structure bill amendments initially scheduled for September 30. Congressional sources indicate that Democrats have yet to provide feedback on the bill, expressing a desire to first agree on procedural matters before negotiating details. The impending government shutdown further complicates the possibility of holding the amendment meeting on the planned date.
A new target date for the amendments is tentatively set for the week of October 20, though it remains unconfirmed. The Senate Agriculture Committee also plans to revise its bill concerning the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) in October. This delay is not expected to hinder the submission of the bill for Senate review by the end of the year.
