CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

House Roll Call 55

119th Congress · Session 1 · March 3, 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-758 — Mail Traffic Deaths Reporting Act of 2025

This bill directs the United States Postal Service to track and report traffic crashes involving mail transport. It requires Postal Service employees and contractors to report crashes resulting in injury or death within three days. The Postmaster General must establish regulations for this collection, tracking, and public reporting. The Postal Service will maintain an internal digital database of these incidents. Additionally, the agency must publish an annual public report containing statistics and trends.
