CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

House Roll Call 125

119th Congress · Session 2 · April 20, 2026

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-1681 — Expediting Federal Broadband Deployment Reviews Act

This Act mandates the creation of an interagency strike force. The Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Communications and Information will establish this force within 180 days of enactment. The strike force is tasked with ensuring Federal land management agencies prioritize reviewing requests for communications use authorizations. These agencies include the Bureau of Land Management and the Forest Service. The strike force will establish goals and monitor agency accountability regarding these reviews. Finally, a report on the strike force's effectiveness must be submitted to Congress.
