CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

House Roll Call 286

119th Congress · Session 1 · November 17, 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-1608 — Department of Homeland Security Vehicular Terrorism Prevention and Mitigation Act of 2025

This Act directs the Secretary of Homeland Security to create a comprehensive report on vehicular terrorism. The report must address emerging threats, such as those involving autonomous or connected vehicles, and evaluate high-risk locations like critical infrastructure and crowded public spaces. It also requires a summary of actions taken by DHS, TSA, and CISA to research and implement prevention and response measures. Furthermore, the report must cover engagement with various stakeholders, law enforcement coordination, and the potential use of new technologies.
