Senator Lummis said the latest proposal from Senator Cortez Masto and prosecutors was not the result of any agreement with her. According to Odaily, she said it did not sufficiently protect developers or provide law enforcement with the tools it needs.

Lummis said the current situation is not workable and that work must continue. The latest proposal would remove the Lummis-Grassley amendment, which says software developers could face criminal liability only if they had specific intent to assist money laundering.
