House Roll Call 19

119th Congress · Session 2 · January 13, 2026

The vote on whether to pass the bill

This is the real decision in this chamber. Passing here sends the bill to the other chamber, which must pass it too before it can go to the President.

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.
