CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

House Roll Call 8

119th Congress · Session 1 · January 13, 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-192 — Amtrak Executive Bonus Disclosure Act

This bill aims to amend title 49 of the United States Code. It specifically requires Amtrak to change how it reports executive compensation. Under this act, Amtrak must make certain pay information available to the public on its website. This includes the annual base pay and any bonus compensation for members of the executive leadership team. Additionally, the bill requires the disclosure of the criteria and metrics used to determine those bonuses.
