CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

House Roll Call 251

119th Congress · Session 2 · July 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-HR-8823 — Putting Patients First by Strengthening Provider Accountability in FECA Act

This bill aims to amend the Federal Employees' Compensation Act. It would give the Secretary of Labor the authority to suspend payments to medical providers. This authority applies if a provider has been convicted of fraud related to specific federal or state programs. The change would also apply to vouchers or certifications used for expenses. The new rules would take effect 180 days after the Act is enacted.
