CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

House Roll Call 37

119th Congress · Session 1 · February 10, 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-736 — Protect Small Businesses from Excessive Paperwork Act of 2025

Its purpose is to change the deadline for filing beneficial ownership information reports. This specifically applies to reporting companies that were formed or registered before January 1, 2024. Under this act, those companies must file by January 1, 2026.
