On Passage
On Passage
The House failed to pass the Flexibility for Workers Education Act on a party-line vote.
The House failed to pass the Flexibility for Workers Education Act following its consideration as unfinished business on the floor. The measure was rejected on a party-line vote, falling short of the simple majority required for passage. This action occurred immediately after the House also rejected a motion to recommit the bill.
The failure of this passage vote on a party-line basis prevents H.R. 2262 from advancing out of the House of Representatives. Because the measure did not secure the required simple majority, the bill remains at the reported stage and cannot proceed to the Senate for consideration. A motion to reconsider the vote was subsequently laid on the table, effectively finalizing the result of this specific floor action.
On Motion to Recommit

Following the failure of this motion, the underlying bill proceeded to a final vote where it also failed to pass the House.
