One recorded vote has been taken on this bill.
- The House: a fast-track vote, needing two-thirds to passPassed 278–121
The House sets aside its normal procedure to move quickly: no amendments, little debate, and a two-thirds bar instead of a simple majority. It is used for measures expected to be uncontroversial, so a bill that fails here failed despite broad expectations that it would not.
