House Roll Call 155

119th Congress · Session 2 · April 30, 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-S-4465 — A bill to amend the FISA Amendments Act of 2008 to extend the authorities of title VII of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978, and for other purposes.

This Act aims to amend the FISA Amendments Act of 2008. The primary purpose is to extend the authorities found in title VII of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978. It specifically changes the repeal date from April 30, 2026, to June 12, 2026. This change applies to both 50 U.S.C. 1881 note and 18 U.S.C. 2511 note. These amendments take effect on either the date the Act is enacted or April 29, 2026.
