CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

House Roll Call 28

119th Congress · Session 1 · February 4, 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-43 — Alaska Native Village Municipal Lands Restoration Act of 2025

This bill amends the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act. It changes how land is handled regarding Village Corporations and the State of Alaska. Specifically, it addresses the conveyance of land in trust for the establishment of Municipal Corporations. The Act provides a process for the dissolution of certain trusts so land can revert to Village Corporations. It also ensures that Village Corporations are not required to convey additional land for future Municipal Corporations.
