RULE BILLS
**A rule bill is a bill passed through a full House vote under a rule that has been voted and agreed upon by the Rules Committee. Rule bills require a simple majority of the House to pass (218 votes) through a recorded vote.

Result and Date	Bill #	Bill Title	My Vote	What it means for you and your family
7/12/19 PASSED 220-197	H.R. 2500	National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020	NO	The NDAA, a normally bipartisan legislation, had many highly partisan provisions included. This legislation was more than $15 billion short of the requested funding level. Our servicemen and women place their lives on the line, and I believe that we must fund and support them when they do so.

SUSPENSION BILLS

**A suspension bill is a bill passed by the House through suspending the rules to move quickly, circumventing the House Rules Committee. Suspension bills are typically less controversial pieces of legislation, and as the rules are being suspended, they require a higher threshold, two-thirds of those voting in the House, to pass. Additionally, these bills are often passed by a voice vote, without a formal roll call vote.
