CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

House Roll Call 305

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-9500 — Tax Relief for Fraud Victims Act

This bill makes changes to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 regarding personal casualty and theft losses. Specifically, it repeals the limitation on deductions for personal casualty losses. It also provides increased taxpayer relief for theft losses involving fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation. Furthermore, the bill sets deadlines for processing claims and outlines specific effective dates for different provisions.
