CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

House Roll Call 24

119th Congress · Session 1 · January 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-375 — Continued Rapid Ohia Death Response Act of 2025

This bill directs the Secretary of the Interior to work with the Secretary of Agriculture and the State of Hawaii. The bill aims to address the disease known as Rapid Ohia Death, which is caused by a fungal pathogen affecting the Metrosideros polymorpha tree. It mandates continued research on how the disease spreads and its transmission vectors. Additionally, it requires management of ungulates within specific control areas. The act also calls for financial assistance to prevent the disease's spread and restore native forests.
