CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

House Roll Call 147

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-1804 — 7(a) Loan Agent Oversight Act

This bill proposes changes to the Small Business Act. It requires the Director to submit an annual report to Congress regarding 7(a) agents. These agents are defined as people providing services like application assistance or consulting for loans. The report must include data on the number of agents, fraudulent loans, and loan purchase rates. It also requires details on referral fees and an analysis of risks associated with certain agents. Additionally, the report must analyze interest rates and how the Administrator communicates with these agents.
