CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

House Roll Call 14

119th Congress · Session 1 · January 15, 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-144 — Tennessee Valley Authority Salary Transparency Act

This Act aims to change how certain reports are handled by the Tennessee Valley Authority. Specifically, it amends the Tennessee Valley Authority Act of 1933 regarding financial reporting. The bill shifts the focus from a general financial statement to a specific report on employee compensation. This new report requires details on employees at the management level or above who earn at or above the GS-15 pay rate. Finally, it provides specific exemptions for this salary information.
