On Motion to Recommit
The House rejected a motion to recommit H.R. 2270 on a party-line vote, failing to send the child and elder care bill back to committee.
The House rejected a motion to recommit the Empowering Employer Child and Elder Care Solutions Act to the Committee on Education and Workforce following floor debate. The procedural move failed on a party-line vote, occurring after the previous question was ordered under the terms of the governing rule. This vote served as a final opportunity to return the bill to committee before the chamber proceeded toward further action on the legislation.
The failure of the motion to recommit on a party-line vote prevented the bill from being sent back to the Committee on Education and Workforce with instructions to amend. This procedural step was the minority's final opportunity to alter the legislation before the House moved toward a final vote on passage. The underlying bill, the Empowering Employer Child and Elder Care Solutions Act, remains active for further consideration by the House.
