CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

House Roll Call 18

119th Congress · Session 2 · January 13, 2026

A last attempt to send the bill back to committee

The minority party's final chance to change or stall a bill just before the vote on passage. It almost always fails; when it succeeds, the bill does not get its final vote that day.

What was being voted on

119-HR-2262 — Flexibility for Workers Education Act

This bill amends the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938. It excludes specific activities from the calculation of hours worked. This includes time spent changing clothes or washing if a collective-bargaining agreement already excludes it. It also excludes time spent in voluntary education or training programs that happen outside regular working hours. To be excluded, the employer cannot take adverse action against employees who do not participate. Additionally, the employee must not perform any work during these activities.
