CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

House Roll Call 146

119th Congress · Session 1 · June 3, 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-1642 — Connecting Small Businesses with Career and Technical Education Graduates Act of 2025

This bill aims to amend the Small Business Act. It introduces requirements for Small Business Development Centers and Women's Business Centers regarding career and technical education. The bill adds definitions for career and technical education based on existing law. It directs these centers to provide information on hiring graduates and using specific programs to meet business needs. Additionally, it seeks to connect students and graduates with center resources to start or expand businesses. Finally, it includes provisions to help these individuals identify career opportunities.
