About this vote

Cloture is a vote to end debate; most bills need 60 votes to get it. The bill generally bars school athletic programs from allowing people whose biological sex at birth was male to take part in programs for women or girls; cloture on the motion to proceed was rejected, so the Senate did not move to the bill.
