About this vote

Cloture is a vote to end debate; most bills need 60 votes. This cloture vote was on the motion to proceed, the step that lets the Senate formally take up a measure. S. 3627 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. Cloture was rejected, so the Senate did not move to the bill at that time.
