CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

House Roll Call 72

119th Congress · Session 1 · March 24, 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-359 — Cost-Share Accountability Act of 2025

This bill aims to amend the Energy Policy Act of 2005. It focuses on establishing new reporting requirements for the Department. The Secretary is required to submit specific reports to various House and Senate committees. These reports must detail the use of authority to reduce or eliminate cost-sharing requirements. The reporting must occur within 120 days of enactment and continue at least quarterly thereafter. Additionally, these reports must be made available to the public.
