About this vote

A motion to recommit sends a bill back to committee and is usually the minority's last chance to change it; this bill narrows the Clean Water Act by redefining navigable waters to exclude waste treatment systems, features that flow only in direct response to rain or snow, prior converted cropland, groundwater, and other excluded features. The motion failed, so the bill was not sent back.
