CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

House Roll Call 217

119th Congress · Session 1 · July 23, 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-3357 — Enhancing Multi-Class Share Disclosures Act

This bill aims to amend the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. It focuses on companies that use a multi-class share structure, which involves different types of securities with different voting rights. The Act requires these issuers to provide specific disclosures in proxy or consent solicitation materials. These disclosures must detail the number of shares and the voting power held by certain individuals. This applies to directors, nominees, executive officers, or large beneficial owners.
