This was a final vote in the House of Representatives to pass the bill. It represents the conclusion of the House's work on the measure, moving it one step closer to becoming law. Because the vote was so close, nearly every member's presence was critical to the final outcome. A "passage" vote is the most straightforward type of vote in Congress. It is the final decision by a chamber on whether to approve a bill. In the House, this typically requires a simple majority—meaning more "yes" votes than "no" votes among those present. The bill passed with the support of the Republican majority, while Democrats were almost entirely opposed. Having cleared the House, the legislation now heads to the Senate for consideration, or to the President's desk if the Senate has already approved an identical version.
The bill will now be sent to the Senate for consideration, or to the President if the Senate has already passed an identical version.
