CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

House Roll Call 22

119th Congress · Session 1 · January 22, 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-165 — Wounded Knee Massacre Memorial and Sacred Site Act

This bill directs the Secretary of the Interior to take steps to ensure certain land is held in restricted fee status by the Oglala Sioux Tribe and Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe. This land consists of approximately 40 acres located on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. The Act requires the Secretary to complete necessary documentation and survey corrections within 365 days of enactment. It also mandates the assignment of applicable private and municipal utility rights or agreements.
