CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

House Roll Call 189

119th Congress · Session 2 · May 21, 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-1041 — Veterans 2nd Amendment Protection Act

This bill aims to amend title 38 of the United States Code. It prohibits the Secretary of Veterans Affairs from sharing a beneficiary's personally identifiable information with the Department of Justice for use in the national instant criminal background check system based solely on a determination to pay benefits to a fiduciary. Such information could only be transmitted if there is an order or finding by a judicial authority that the beneficiary is a danger to themselves or others.
