CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

House Roll Call 9

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-152 — Federal Disaster Assistance Coordination Act

This bill aims to amend the Disaster Recovery Reform Act of 2018. The bill directs the Administrator to conduct a study to improve how information is collected from disaster assistance applicants and grantees. It seeks to make these processes more efficient, simplified, and less burdensome. Additionally, the bill calls for a plan regarding the regular collection and reporting of information on Federal disaster assistance awarded. A working group will also be convened to examine preliminary damage assessments to identify duplication or fragmentation.
