CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

House Roll Call 181

119th Congress · Session 2 · May 20, 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-1003 — Lulu’s Law

This order must establish that a shark attack is an event that can trigger a wireless emergency alert. The legislation is intended to expand the types of events for which an Alert Message may be transmitted.
