CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

House Roll Call 103

119th Congress · Session 1 · April 28, 2025

A fast-track vote, needing two-thirds to pass

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.

What was being voted on

119-HR-973 — Setting Consumer Standards for Lithium-Ion Batteries Act

This bill aims to establish safety standards for certain lithium-ion batteries. It requires the Consumer Product Safety Commission to adopt specific industry standards for light electric vehicle applications, eBike electrical systems, and personal e-mobility devices. The Commission must also adopt any future revisions to these standards that improve consumer product safety. Additionally, the Act mandates a report to Congress regarding battery-related fires, explosions, and other hazards. This report must include details such as the battery make, model, and manufacturer when known.
