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
6/4/2019 PASSED 237-187	H.R. 6	American Dream and Promise Act of 2019	NO	We must fix our broken immigration system and fix a bipartisan solution. Unfortunately, H.R. 6 was not this solution. I had concerns over loopholes for criminals, the inability to deny citizenship, and the lack of effort to stem the flow of illegal immigrants across our border. I am continuing to push for a better solution to this problem.

 

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.
