About this vote

The bill adds College Station, Texas, to the places where federal court must be held in the Galveston Division of the Southern District of Texas, and adds El Centro, California, to the places where court must be held in the Southern District of California. Suspending the rules is a fast-track procedure that limits debate, does not allow floor amendments, and needs two-thirds of those voting to pass.
