Result
Failed, as the official record marks it

The House barred Rep. Laurel Libby from voting on this roll call: it censured her on Feb. 25, 2025 and restricted her voting and speaking until she apologized, until the U.S. Supreme Court ordered on May 20, 2025 that her vote be restored. The record marks her vote “restricted”; it isn't counted as one she missed.
