Feb 12, 2025House vote #40 · 2025H.R. 77

Nay

Reject the motion to return the multiple-regulation review bill

AI-assisted summary

The Midnight Rules Relief Act would let Congress disapprove multiple regulations submitted for review during part of a president’s final year in office in one joint resolution, rather than addressing only one regulation per resolution. The House rejected a motion to recommit the bill, which would have returned it for further consideration. This vote did not itself decide passage of the bill.

Context: The supplied description is dated February 12, 2025 and labeled “Passed House,” the same date as this vote; it does not establish whether the text before the House on this motion was amended.

Feb 11, 2025House vote #39 · 2025H.Res. 122

Aye

Set House consideration rules for grouping late-term regulations

AI-assisted summary

Context: The bill's subject is described from its introduced version; the records do not establish whether that version was the exact text to be considered under the resolution.

Feb 11, 2025House vote #38 · 2025H.Res. 122

Yea

Limit debate on rules for considering grouped regulation reviews

AI-assisted summary

The Midnight Rules Relief Act would allow Congress to disapprove multiple regulations in one resolution if they were submitted for review during part of a President's final year, rather than requiring a separate resolution for each. Ordering the previous question limited further debate on the resolution setting House consideration terms and brought it toward a decision. It did not pass the bill or disapprove any regulations.

Context: The bill's subject is described from its introduced version; the records do not establish whether that version was the exact text to be considered under the resolution.

Feb 10, 2025House vote #37 · 2025H.R. 736

Feb 7, 2025House vote #35 · 2025H.R. 26

Yea

Pass bill restricting presidential fracking moratoriums

Context: The background describes the version introduced on January 3, 2025, not necessarily the exact text passed.

Feb 7, 2025House vote #34 · 2025H.R. 26

Nay

AI-assisted summary

Context: The supplied record does not describe any instructions or proposed changes in the recommit motion. The background summarizes the introduced bill version.

Feb 6, 2025House vote #32 · 2025H.R. 27H.Amdt. 5Floor amendment 1

Not Voting

Reject delay of fentanyl legislation pending overdose certification

AI-assisted summary

The amendment would have delayed the HALT Fentanyl Act and its amendments from taking effect until the Health and Human Services Secretary and Attorney General jointly certified in the Federal Register that the act would reduce overdose deaths. The House rejected that condition. This vote decided only the amendment, not final passage of the underlying bill.

Context: The amendment text specifies the effective-date condition; the introduced bill summary describes the underlying HALT Fentanyl Act, but does not establish the exact full bill text at this vote.
