On Motion to Suspend the Rules and Pass
The House failed to pass the ROTOR Act on a mixed vote, as the measure fell short of the two-thirds majority required under suspension.
The House considered the ROTOR Act under a suspension of the rules, a procedure that limits debate and requires a two-thirds majority for passage. The motion failed on a mixed vote following forty minutes of floor debate. Because the measure did not reach the required supermajority threshold, the bill remains at the floor action stage in the House.
The ROTOR Act failed to pass because it did not reach the two-thirds majority required under the suspension of the rules, resulting in a mixed outcome across party lines. While the bill did not advance during this session, House leadership may choose to re-introduce the measure under a different procedural rule that requires only a simple majority for passage. Further action on the bill is not determined by this specific vote.
