CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

Senate Roll Call 189

119th Congress · Session 1 · April 5, 2025

A vote on a proposed change to the bill

A vote on one change, not on the bill. A bill can collect dozens of these, and losing one does not stop it.

What was being voted on

119-SAMDT-1989 — To strike section 2001(b)(4) relating to reconciliation instructions to the Committee on Energy and Commerce of the House of Representatives to cut $880,000,000,000 from Medicaid.

This amendment, numbered SA 1989 and proposed by Mr. Wyden along with several other senators, is quite simple in what it actually does to the paperwork. The sole purpose and action of this amendment is to strike section 2001(b)(4) from the existing proposal.

The Senate recorded this as
On the Amendment S.Amdt. 1989 to S.Amdt. 1717 to H.Con.Res. 14 (No short title on file)
