CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

House Roll Call 127

119th Congress · Session 2 · April 21, 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-5201 — Kari's Law Reporting Act

This Act directs the Federal Communications Commission to publish a specific report. The report must be published on the Commission's website within 180 days of the Act's enactment. It focuses on the enforcement of section 721 of the Communications Act of 1934. The report is required to summarize how much multi-line telephone system manufacturers and vendors have complied with that section. Additionally, it must cover difficulties in compliance and ways to improve Commission policies. Finally, it may include recommendations for further legislation to Congress.
