This was a vote on whether to add the amendment to the bill, not a vote to pass or reject the bill itself. A majority of the members voting yes or no was needed; 216 of 430 votes were required.

The underlying appropriations bill still needs a separate passage vote in the House. This amendment vote did not pass or reject the bill.

The vote determined whether the bill would include a restriction on federal funding for enforcing the Commission’s high-volume fracking rules. The restriction was not adopted.

• Delaware River Basin Commission
  The proposed bar on using federal funds to implement or enforce its high-volume fracking rules was not added.
• People and communities in the Delaware River Basin
  The amendment’s proposed funding restriction would have affected federal support for enforcement of the Commission’s rules in the region.
