CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

House Roll Call 13

119th Congress · Session 2 · January 12, 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-2683 — Remote Access Security Act

This bill seeks to amend the Export Control Reform Act of 2018. It introduces a specific definition for "remote access" regarding items subject to United States jurisdiction. This definition covers access by a foreign person through network connections, such as the internet or cloud services, from a different location. The bill expands various existing sections of the law to include the regulation of remote access alongside in-country transfers. These changes are triggered if the Secretary determines that using an item poses a serious risk to national security or foreign policy.
