CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

House Roll Call 82

119th Congress · Session 2 · March 4, 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-6472 — Territorial Student Access to Higher Education Act

This bill amends the Higher Education Act of 1965. It requires public institutions of higher education that receive assistance under the Act to charge certain residents of U.S. territories the same tuition and fees as residents of the state where the institution is located. This applies to residents of Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, and the United States Virgin Islands who are nationals of the United States.
