CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

Senate Roll Call 248

119th Congress · Session 2 · September 28, 2026

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-6805 — To increase the limitation on funding for post-eligibility insurance and catastrophic injury for student athletes.

What the Amendment Does Mr. Booker, along with Mr. Blumenthal, submitted this amendment to change how a specific fund or program is paid for in the bill. Common sense tells us that when big money is involved, we need to know who is footing the bill so our elected officials are holding the right people accountable. The amendment sets a spending limit of $200,000,000 for the fund or program.

The Senate recorded this as
On the Amendment S.Amdt. 6805 to S.Amdt. 6776 to S. 4668 (No short title on file)
To increase the limitation on funding for post-eligibility insurance and catastrophic injury for student athletes.
