On the Motion to Table

On February 7, 2019, the Senate voted on a "Motion to Table," which is a procedural move used to permanently kill a pending proposal or amendment without taking a direct vote on its merits. By a vote of 68–30, the Senate agreed to the motion, effectively ending further consideration of the matter at hand.

While the specific underlying bill or amendment was not identified in this record, the vote outcome indicates a significant level of cross-party cooperation. The motion passed with broad bipartisan support, including the vast majority of the Democratic caucus and nearly half of the Republican caucus.
