CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

House Roll Call 19

119th Congress · Session 1 · January 21, 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-187 — MAPWaters Act of 2025

This bill requires Federal land and water management agencies to standardize and digitize data regarding public outdoor recreational use of Federal waterways. The act mandates the creation of online, publicly available geographic information system data covering waterway restrictions, access and navigation details, and fishing restrictions. It requires the Secretaries of Agriculture and the Interior to coordinate these efforts and provide annual progress reports to Congress. The law also allows for partnerships with non-Federal agencies and private entities to achieve these goals.
