CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

House Roll Call 88

119th Congress · Session 1 · April 1, 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-1491 — Disaster Related Extension of Deadlines Act

This bill aims to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. It focuses on making certain deadline postponements caused by disasters applicable to the limitation on credits or refunds. Additionally, it requires that postponements be taken into account when determining the last date prescribed for tax payments. These changes are intended to adjust how time is treated regarding filing returns and sending collection notices.
