CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

House Roll Call 301

119th Congress · Session 2 · September 15, 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-2978 — GUARD Act

This bill allows State, local, and Tribal law enforcement agencies that receive certain Federal grant funds to use that money to investigate elder financial fraud, pig butchering, and general financial fraud. The legislation also clarifies that Federal law enforcement agencies can assist these local agencies with blockchain tracing tools and related technology. Additionally, the bill requires various reports to be submitted to Congress regarding fraud statistics, scam trends, and recovery efforts.
