CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

House Roll Call 115

119th Congress · Session 2 · April 16, 2026

A last attempt to send the bill back to committee

The minority party's final chance to change or stall a bill just before the vote on passage. It almost always fails; when it succeeds, the bill does not get its final vote that day.

What was being voted on

119-HR-6409 — FENCES Act

This bill seeks to amend the Clean Air Act regarding emissions originating from outside of the United States. It clarifies that emissions from outside the country are covered regardless of whether they result from human activity. The bill prevents an area from being designated a nonattainment area if the State proves it would meet standards but for these foreign emissions. Additionally, it provides relief from certain sanctions and fees for specific nonattainment areas.
