CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

House Roll Call 72

119th Congress · Session 2 · February 24, 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-S-2503 — ROTOR Act

This bill requires aircraft that use ADS-B Out to also be equipped with ADS-B In technology by December 31, 2031, to improve situational awareness for pilots. It limits the "sensitive government mission" exception for ADS-B Out, ensuring routine or non-classified flights of lower-ranking officials are not exempt. The bill mandates safety reviews of flight operations near various classes of airports, specifically highlighting the Washington D.C. area. It also establishes an Office of FAA-DOD Coordination and requires safety information sharing between the FAA and military departments.
