CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

House Roll Call 97

119th Congress · Session 2 · March 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-HR-6422 — American Water Stewardship Act

This bill amends the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to extend several EPA geographic programs through 2031. This includes the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, Long Island Sound, Columbia River Basin Restoration, and the National Estuary Program. It expands the San Francisco Bay Restoration Program's funding mechanisms and updates coastal water quality monitoring. The bill also adds Mississippi Sound to the National Estuary Program, though funding for it is restricted for certain years.
