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 changes the Fair Labor Standards Act definition of a tipped employee so that an employee's duties are not considered in deciding whether the employee is a tipped employee. The motion failed, so the bill was not sent back.
