About this vote
The bill prohibits payment card networks from using merchant codes that distinguish firearms retailers from general-merchandise or sporting-goods retailers; the Justice Department must enforce it and report each year on related investigations and cases. A motion to recommit sends a bill back to committee and is usually the minority's last chance to change it; it failed, so the House moved on to the vote on passage.
