CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

House Roll Call 303

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-4646 — Whistleblower Protection Act of 2025

This bill aims to expand existing whistleblower protections. It clarifies that protections under section 4712 of title 41, United States Code, apply to a broader range of funding. Specifically, these protections would cover any contract, subcontract, grant, subgrant, or personal services contract funded by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. This applies regardless of when the specific contract was executed.
