H.R. 4394

Energy and Water Development Appropriations for Fiscal Year 2024

Passed  |  210-199
My Vote  |  YES

This bill provides funding for the Department of Energy, Army Corps of Engineers, Bureau of Reclamation and other important government agencies. 


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.

Standing with Israel as it defends itself against the barbaric war launched by Hamas and other terrorists

Passed  |  412-10
