{time} 1535
Mr. FLEISCHMANN and Mrs. WAGNER changed their vote from ``aye'' to
``no.''
Messrs. SWALWELL of California, POSEY, and DOGGETT changed their vote
from ``no'' to ``aye.''
So the amendment was rejected.
The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
Stated for:
Mrs. NAPOLITANO. Mr. Chair, on Thursday, February 25, 2016, I was
absent during rollcall vote No. 87. Had I been present, I would have
voted ``yes'' on the Cartwright Amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the committee amendment in the
nature of a substitute, as amended.
The amendment was agreed to.
The Acting CHAIR. Under the rule, the Committee rises.
Accordingly, the Committee rose; and the Speaker pro tempore (Mr.
Rodney Davis of Illinois) having assumed the chair, Mr. Hultgren,
Acting Chair of the Committee of the Whole House on the state of the
Union, reported that that Committee, having had under consideration the
bill (H.R. 3624) to amend title 28, United States Code, to prevent
fraudulent joinder, and, pursuant to House Resolution 618, he reported
the bill back to the House with an amendment adopted in the Committee
of the Whole.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under the rule, the previous question is
ordered.
Is a separate vote demanded on any amendment to the amendment
reported from the Committee of the Whole?
If not, the question is on the committee amendment in the nature of a
substitute, as amended.
The amendment was agreed to.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the engrossment and third
reading of the bill.
The bill was ordered to be engrossed and read a third time, and was
read the third time.
Motion to Recommit
Mrs. WATSON COLEMAN. Mr. Speaker, I have a motion to recommit at the
desk.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is the gentlewoman opposed to the bill?
Mrs. WATSON COLEMAN. I am opposed.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to
recommit.
The Clerk read as follows:
Mrs. Watson Coleman moves to recommit the bill H.R. 3624 to
the Committee on the Judiciary with instructions to report
the same back to the House forthwith, with the following
amendments:
Page 5, line 2, strike the close quotation mark and the
period which follows.
Page 5, after line 2, insert the following:
``(5) This section shall not apply to a case in which the
plaintiff seeks relief in connection with the sexual abuse
and exploitation of a minor.''.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to the rule, the gentlewoman from
New Jersey is recognized for 5 minutes in support of her motion.
Mrs. WATSON COLEMAN. Mr. Speaker, this is the final amendment to the
bill, which will not kill the bill or send it back to committee. If
adopted, the bill will immediately proceed to final passage, as
amended.
My amendment would simply ensure that those who have filed a suit in
connection with sexual abuse or exploitation of a minor are exempt from
the changes that this law makes.
Mr. Speaker, this bill is an assault on the ability of everyday
hardworking Americans to seek justice, and despite its misleading
title, this bill has absolutely nothing to do with fraud and will do
nothing to prevent it.
This is just one more step by my colleagues on the other side of the
aisle to offer corporations every opportunity imaginable to take
advantage of workers, consumers, and patients.
By making it easier to move cases to Federal court, we make it easier
for big corporations to play the long game, waiting out plaintiffs with
limited financial resources, with limited capacity to travel far from
home for hearings, and with limited ability to sit through the
significantly longer Federal process.
The current law has been around for centuries, based on the obvious
logic that a State case belongs in a State court.
The new burden that this bill would place on the average American is
simply outrageous. The least that we can do is protect children who
have already been victimized by sexual assault.
My amendment is simple. It would ensure that we allow those who have
filed lawsuits in connection with the sexual abuse or exploitation of a
minor to continue to operate under the completely operational and
already efficient system currently in place.
Most importantly, it will protect victims who have already
experienced incredible emotional and physical trauma from being dragged
through a long and costly court process far from home just to benefit
some multinational corporation out to maximize its profits.
This isn't a hypothetical situation. In one case heard in Washington
State, plaintiffs were minors who were sexually exploited by instate
defendants and by an out-of-State defendant who advertised the sexual
services of the minors on the defendant's Web site.
When those plaintiffs brought claims against the defendants for
sexual exploitation, assault, battery, unjust enrichment, and civil
conspiracy, the out-of-State defendant attempted to move the case to
Federal court. Federal courts rejected that defendant's arguments, and
the case remained at the State level. But if this bill is allowed to
pass, that would no longer be the case.
Mr. Speaker, this bill is reprehensible. Unfortunately, it is only
the latest in a long line of efforts to put corporations beyond
reproach and outside of any accountability. Let's at least ensure that
young people, who have already been victimized, don't experience any
further mistreatment for the sake of shareholders' profits.
Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. GOODLATTE. Mr. Speaker, I seek time in opposition to the motion
to recommit.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Virginia is recognized
for 5 minutes.
Mr. GOODLATTE. Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the gentleman from
Colorado (Mr. Buck) for bringing this outstanding legislation before
the House. This is very common sense. It solves a very practical
problem, and most importantly, it protects the innocent. I want to
quote him with regard to this motion to recommit. He says:
As a prosecutor, I deeply respected all the rules we
developed in this great country to protect the innocent.
These are rules of general application, such as rules
protecting people's rights to have their side of the story
told and rules protecting people from biased or inaccurate
testimony.
I would have been appalled if anyone ever suggested that
these general protections, designed to protect innocent
people from criminal liability, should be suspended because
the case was one of assault or battery, murder, or somehow
related to insurance.
Our country is, rightfully, proud of its principles
providing due process and equal protection, but those
concepts are meaningless if they are only selectively applied
to some types of cases, but not others. For the same reason,
we should all be outraged at the suggestion that rules of
fairness, designed to protect the innocent, should be
suspended in the civil law because the case involves one
particular subject or another.
But that is exactly what this motion to recommit does.
{time} 1545
The problem with all of the arguments made by opponents of this bill
is that those arguments rely on trapping completely innocent local
people in lawsuits they don't deserve to be in. That is wrong, and that
is unfair. Innocent local people and small businesses deserve
protections from being dragged into lawsuits that are really directed
against other larger parties, regardless of the nature of those
lawsuits against other parties.
In the end, this bill doesn't require much of trial lawyers. It tells
trial lawyers not to sue local innocent people
[[Page H917]]
and businesses just so they can further their own forum shopping
strategies. It tells trial lawyers they need to have a plausible case
before they can wrap up innocent local people and businesses in costly
and time-consuming lawsuits.
It tells trial lawyers their lawsuits must be based on good faith.
But, apparently, those very modest demands of civility and fairness are
too much to ask, according to opponents of this bill who would prefer
to dilute it with irrelevancies and distractions.
It is not often that the House has the opportunity to protect
innocent local people and businesses from costly and meritless
lawsuits, rein in forum shopping abuses by trial lawyers, and hold them
to a good faith standard in litigation, all by passing a bill that is
just a few pages long. But that is the opportunity the House has today.
I urge all of my colleagues to take that opportunity now. Reject this
motion to recommit and, in so doing, expand the opportunities of all
local citizens and small businesses that would otherwise be smothered
by costly and meritless lawsuits. Pass this legislation.
I yield back the balance of my time.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, the previous question is
ordered on the motion to recommit.
There was no objection.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion to recommit.
The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that
the noes appeared to have it.
Recorded Vote
Mrs. WATSON COLEMAN. Mr. Speaker, I demand a recorded vote.
A recorded vote was ordered.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 8 and clause 9 of rule
XX, this 5-minute vote on the motion to recommit will be followed by 5-
minute votes on passage of the bill, if ordered; ordering the previous
question on House Resolution 619; and adoption of House Resolution 619,
if ordered.
The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--ayes 180,
noes 239, not voting 14, as follows:
