CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

House Roll Call 239

119th Congress · Session 2 · July 14, 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-1181 — Protecting Privacy in Purchases Act

This bill prohibits payment card networks and covered entities from using specific merchant category codes to distinguish firearms retailers from other types of retailers. It prevents these codes from being used to identify businesses engaged in selling firearms, ammunition, or related components. The Attorney General is tasked with enforcing these rules, investigating complaints, and seeking injunctions in court if violations are not corrected. The Act also preempts state and local laws regarding the assignment or use of these specific merchant category codes.
