CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

House Roll Call 84

119th Congress · Session 1 · March 31, 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-517 — Filing Relief for Natural Disasters Act

This Act amends the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. It modifies the rules regarding the postponement of certain federal tax deadlines due to disasters. The bill allows the Secretary to apply deadline postponement rules to qualified state-declared disasters upon a written request from a Governor or Mayor. It also extends mandatory extensions from 60 days to 120 days. These changes apply to declarations made after the Act's enactment.
