About this vote

A motion to recommit sends a bill back to committee and is usually the minority's last chance to change it before the final vote. H.R. 6359 requires colleges and universities that take part in federal student aid programs to give prospective and enrolled students information on the rights and resources available for pregnant students, or students who may become pregnant while enrolled, to carry a baby to term. The motion failed, so the bill was not sent back to committee.
