CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

House Roll Call 339

119th Congress · Session 1 · December 16, 2025

A last attempt to send the bill back to committee

The minority party's final chance to change or stall a bill just before the vote on passage. It almost always fails; when it succeeds, the bill does not get its final vote that day.

What was being voted on

119-HR-4371 — Kayla Hamilton Act

This bill aims to enhance efforts to combat the trafficking of children by amending existing laws. It mandates new consultation requirements between the Secretary of Health and Human Services, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and the Attorney General regarding the placement of unaccompanied alien children. The bill introduces stricter screening processes for children aged 12 or older, including checking for criminal records and gang-related markings. It also establishes criteria for placing certain children in secure facilities based on flight risk or danger to the community.
