Announcement by the Acting Chair
The Acting CHAIR (during the vote). There is 1 minute remaining.
{time} 1902
So the amendment was rejected.
The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
Stated against:
Mr. KING of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I was unavoidably detained. Had I been
present, I would have voted ``nay'' on rollcall No. 150.
The Acting CHAIR. There being no further amendments, under the rule,
the Committee rises.
Accordingly, the Committee rose; and the Speaker pro tempore (Mr.
Womack) having assumed the chair, Mr. Byrne, 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. 725) to
amend title 28, United States Code, to prevent fraudulent joinder, and,
pursuant to House Resolution 175, he reported the bill back to the
House.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under the rule, the previous question is
ordered.
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
Ms. KUSTER of New Hampshire. Mr. Speaker, I have a motion to recommit
at the desk.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is the gentlewoman opposed to the bill?
Ms. KUSTER of New Hampshire. I am opposed in its current form.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to
recommit.
The Clerk read as follows:
Ms. Kuster of New Hampshire moves to recommit the bill H.R.
725 to the Committee on the Judiciary with instructions to
report the same back to the House forthwith with the
following amendment:
Add, at the end of the bill, the following:
SEC. 3. PROTECTING AMERICANS' RIGHT TO HOLD GOVERNMENT
OFFICIALS TO ETHICAL STANDARDS.
Nothing in this Act or the amendments made by this Act may
be construed to apply to a civil action pertaining to ethics
in government.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman from California is
recognized for 5 minutes.
Ms. KUSTER of New Hampshire. 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.
Today, our country is in an era where appropriate ethics and conduct
by elected officials is of the utmost importance.
I think we can agree that many representatives and others in
government have failed to live up to the expectations of the American
people.
We all have immense responsibility to advocate for our constituents,
and it is so important that our work and the work of those in this
administration reflect our genuine desire to do well on the part of
those we represent.
I have heard from literally thousands of my constituents in New
Hampshire who are concerned about the President's reluctance to fully
give up control of his businesses, his refusal to publicly disclose his
tax returns, and the connections between Russia and those in his
campaign and the administration. This pattern of nondisclosure and
hidden interests in the administration could put our public welfare
and, indeed, our national security at stake.
Citizens must have all the legal tools at their disposal to push back
against improper ethics and crony capitalism at all levels of
government, including the highest levels of the Federal Government.
This also includes instances in which a business could face unfair
competition because conflicts of interest in government provide unfair
support to their competitors.
Unfortunately, the bill before us today makes it harder for those who
may have been wronged by established and well-funded interests to get a
fair shot in court.
My amendment simply states that nothing in this legislation shall be
construed to apply to any civil action related to ethics in government.
Private citizens trying to hold government officials to high ethical
standards should not have barriers like this legislation thrown in
their way.
Going forward, I hope that as Republicans and Democrats we can work
together to promote legislation and efforts that increase transparency
in government, rather than making it more difficult for citizens to
hold the government accountable.
I ask that my colleagues support this important motion to recommit.
Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. FARENTHOLD. Mr. Chairman, I claim the time in opposition.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Texas is recognized for 5
minutes.
Mr. FARENTHOLD. Mr. Speaker, I am not sure how this bill applies to
government ethics at all.
This bill is a simple bill that tells trial lawyers not to sue
innocent local people in businesses just so they can forum shop. It
tells them that all they have got to do is show a plausible case before
they can proceed and that they have got to proceed in good faith.
It has nothing to do with what the amendment proposes. This is to
protect innocent folks from being sucked into lawsuits by trial
lawyers.
I urge my colleagues to oppose this amendment and support the
underlying legislation.
Mr. Speaker, 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
Ms. KUSTER of New Hampshire. Mr. Speaker, I demand a recorded vote.
A recorded vote was ordered.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 9 of rule XX, the Chair
will reduce to 5 minutes the minimum time for any electronic vote on
the question of passage.
This will be a 5-minute vote.
The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--ayes 187,
noes 233, not voting 9, as follows:
