House passes bill changing gun regulation of less-than-lethal devices

AI-assisted summary

The bill concerns less-than-lethal projectile devices, including certain TASERs. The House passed the bill; the vote was on passage, not just on beginning consideration.

Passage of federal voter citizenship-proof and photo ID requirements

AI-assisted summary

The House passed the text titled the SAVE America Act, which requires documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register for federal elections and photo identification to vote. It also directs states to check voter registration lists for noncitizens and sets rules for provisional ballots and voting by mail. This was passage of the substituted text, not the veterans advisory committee bill named in the original title.

Context: The February 11, 2026 engrossed House amendment replaces the original veterans advisory committee bill with the SAVE America Act. The summary describes the substituted text at this vote.

Nay

Reject motion to recommit federal voter ID and citizenship rules

AI-assisted summary

The House rejected a motion to commit the SAVE America Act, which would require documentary proof of citizenship to register for federal elections and photo identification to vote. A motion to commit would send the measure back to committee; rejecting it left the measure on its path toward the separate passage vote. This vote did not itself enact or defeat the voter requirements.

Context: The February 11, 2026 engrossed House amendment substitutes the SAVE America Act for the veterans advisory committee bill in the original title. The supplied records do not state any additional instructions for the motion to commit.
