The House voted 246-160 to pass the legislation. The measure succeeded with unanimous support from Republicans and a group of 37 Democrats, meeting the simple majority required for passage.
This vote was held to determine whether the House of Representatives would formally pass the bill under consideration. Passing a bill at this stage means the chamber has finished debating and amending the text and is ready to send it to the next step of the legislative process. In the House, a vote 'On Passage' is the final procedural step for a piece of legislation. It requires a simple majority—more 'yes' votes than 'no' votes—of the members who are present to vote. Because the 'yes' votes outnumbered the 'no' votes, the bill was successfully approved. The outcome was bipartisan, as the entire Republican caucus voted in favor and was joined by 37 Democratic members. The majority of Democrats, however, voted against the measure. With this approval, the bill will now be sent to the Senate for consideration or, if it has already passed the Senate in identical form, to the President's desk.
The bill will be sent to the Senate for further action or, if it has already cleared the Senate, to the President to be signed into law.
