49 yeas · 50 nays · 1 not voting. The Senate clerk lists each position for the September 15, 2026 cloture motion on proceeding to H.R. 3633. The difference between Yea/Nay is relative to that procedural motion; it does not constitute a separate vote on a regulatory safeguard.
Limits and alternative interpretations
- A 49–50 procedural cloture rejection does not itself defeat the underlying bill in a final passage vote.
- The roll call cannot demonstrate votes on individual compliance-officer language or individual senators’ motivations.
