The Senate rejected a proposed change to H.R. 7148 on January 30, 2026. The amendment failed to pass after 32 Senators voted in favor and 67 voted against it, with opposition coming from both parties.
The Senate voted on Senate Amendment 4272, a proposal to modify the bill H.R. 7148. This vote was focused solely on whether to incorporate this specific update into the bill's text before the Senate considers the legislation as a whole. In the Senate, an amendment is a tool used to refine or change a bill during the debate process. This type of vote requires a simple majority to succeed. If the amendment had passed, the bill's text would have been updated; because it failed, the bill remains in its current state. The proposal was defeated in a bipartisan fashion, as more than 30 members from each major party voted against it. The Senate will now proceed with the consideration of H.R. 7148 without this amendment included.
The Senate will continue to consider H.R. 7148, which may include further amendments or a final vote on the bill itself.
Democrats. A majority of Democrats (31) voted against the amendment, while 14 supported it.
