CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

House Roll Call 9

119th Congress · Session 2 · January 8, 2026

A vote to pass a bill over the President's objection

The President refused to sign this, and the chamber is voting to enact it anyway. That takes two-thirds of both chambers, which is why most attempts fail.

What was being voted on

119-HR-131 — Finish the Arkansas Valley Conduit Act

This bill makes changes to how the Arkansas Valley Conduit in Colorado is repaid. The bill sets up a repayment contract for the conduit to supply domestic water to communities and households that lack reliable access. It allows for a repayment period of up to 75 years with simple interest based on a demonstration of financial hardship. Finally, it requires the contracting parties to take over the care, operation, maintenance, and replacement of the conduit.
