How Carter Voted on the Bills That Matter
Their recorded vote on the bills this paper has written up.
- NayHJRES 27 Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Department of the Army, Corps of Engineers, Department of Defense and the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "Revised Definition of 'Waters of the United States'".
This law disapproves a federal rule that had redefined which streams, wetlands, and other waters count as 'waters of the United States' under the Clean Water Act. Because Congress disapproved the rule, it does not take effect and the agencies cannot issue a substantially similar rule without new authority from Congress.
- NayHJRES 7 Relating to a national emergency declared by the President on March 13, 2020.
This law ended the national emergency that had been declared on March 13, 2020, in response to COVID-19. Congress voted to formally terminate that emergency declaration.
- NayHJRES 88 Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Department of Education relating to "Improving Income Driven Repayment for the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program and the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) Program".
This law cancels a Department of Education rule that changed income-driven repayment plans for federal student loans, including the William D. Ford Direct Loan Program and the FFEL Program. It does this using a process called the Congressional Review Act, which lets Congress undo certain federal agency rules. Because the rule was disapproved, it no longer takes effect.
- NayHR 1640 Save Our Gas Stoves Act
This law is called the Save Our Gas Stoves Act. Based on its title, it relates to protecting the use of gas stoves under federal energy policy. The bill information provided does not include further detail on the specific rules it changes.
- NayHJRES 45 Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Department of Education relating to "Waivers and Modifications of Federal Student Loans".
This law canceled a Department of Education rule that would have allowed waivers and modifications of federal student loans. Congress used a special process to reject the rule, so it does not take effect.
- NaySJRES 11 A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "Control of Air Pollution From New Motor Vehicles: Heavy-Duty Engine and Vehicle Standards".
This law cancels an Environmental Protection Agency rule that set pollution control standards for new heavy-duty engines and vehicles, such as large trucks. Because Congress used a special review process, the EPA is also blocked from issuing a substantially similar rule in the future.
- YeaHR 2 Secure the Border Act of 2023
This law is titled the Secure the Border Act of 2023 and falls under immigration policy. The bill information provided does not list specific provisions beyond its title and policy area.
- NoHR 734 Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2023
This law says that for federally funded school and college sports programs, athletes must compete based on the sex they were assigned at birth. It applies to programs designated for women or girls under Title IX, a federal law barring sex discrimination in education.
- NoHR 5 Parents Bill of Rights Act
This law required public schools to give parents access to information about curriculum, reading materials, and instructional programs used in their child's classroom. It also required schools to let parents review the school's budget and expenditures, meet with teachers at least twice a year, and be notified before any changes to student health services or if their child's records are shared with law enforcement.
- NayHJRES 30 Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Department of Labor relating to "Prudence and Loyalty in Selecting Plan Investments and Exercising Shareholder Rights".
This law cancelled a Department of Labor rule about how retirement plan managers can weigh factors like climate, social, or governance issues when picking investments and voting company shares. Because Congress disapproved the rule, it does not take effect and cannot be reissued in a similar form without new congressional authorization.
