On Motion to Recommit
On Motion to Recommit
On April 7, 2022, the House of Representatives voted on a "Motion to Recommit" regarding H.R. 3807, a bill designed to provide $55 billion in additional pandemic relief funding for restaurants and other small businesses that suffered significant revenue losses. A Motion to Recommit is a procedural move typically used by the minority party to send a bill back to committee to be amended before a final vote; in this case, the motion failed, allowing the House to proceed to a final vote on the bill itself. The vote followed strict party lines, with 205 Republicans voting in favor of the motion and 219 Democrats voting against it. Because the motion failed to secure a majority, the proposed changes were rejected, and the underlying bill moved forward without the Republican-led amendments.
