CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

House Roll Call 138

119th Congress · Session 2 · April 27, 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-7959 — IRS Whistleblower Program Improvement Act

The bill focuses on making several improvements to how whistleblowers are treated by the government. It changes how the Tax Court reviews whistleblower award determinations and provides privacy protections for individuals. Additionally, the bill modifies IRS whistleblower reports, adds interest provisions for delayed awards, and corrects deductions for attorney's fees.
