About this vote

The bill extends from 2028 to 2035 the deadline for the National Marine Fisheries Service to issue new regulations protecting endangered Atlantic large whales from certain lobster and crab fishing gear. 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.
