Senate delays college sports bill vote until September
Lawmakers did not vote on the Protect College Sports Act before recess, leaving the measure for consideration when the Senate returns next month.
The U.S. Senate did not take up the Protect College Sports Act before leaving for its summer recess, pushing any floor vote on the college athletics measure to September. The delay came during an overnight session ahead of the break.
The bill was placed on the chamber’s schedule for next month, according to reporting from ESPN and CBS Sports. That gives senators a chance to revisit the proposal after recess.
CBS Sports reported that the measure could still clear the Senate as soon as September, but its path remains uncertain with midterm elections approaching. The legislation is aimed at college sports policy, though no vote was held before lawmakers adjourned.
The Senate is expected to return in September, when the bill can be brought back for consideration.
