WASHINGTON, D.C. — Here’s a look at how area members of Congress voted over the previous week.

Along with its roll call votes this week, the House also passed the Securing Community Upgrades for a Resilient Grid Act (H.R. 7257), to require states to include supporting the physical security, cybersecurity, and resilience of local distribution systems in state energy security plans; and the Recover COVID Unemployment Fraud in Banks Act (H.R. 8873), to recover unclaimed pandemic-era unemployment compensation funds held by financial institutions.

HOUSE VOTES:

House Vote 1:

MINORS AND SOCIAL MEDIA: The House has passed the Kids Internet and Digital Safety Act (H.R. 7757), sponsored by Rep. Brett Guthrie, R-Ky., to require social media, messaging, and other Internet businesses to adopt measures to prevent minors from accessing sexual material, limit compulsive usage, purchases, and communications with adults by minors, and require businesses that use artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots to inform minors of that fact. Guthrie called the bill “a significant and long-overdue step forward in establishing meaningful safeguards. It is an important milestone, not a finish line, in the effort to better protect children online and hold bad actors accountable.” The vote, on June 29, was 267 yeas to 117 nays.

YEAS: Davids (KS) D-KS (3rd), Estes R-KS (4th), Schmidt R-KS (2nd), Mann R-KS (1st)

House Vote 2:

TERRORISM INSURANCE: The House has passed the TRIA Program Reauthorization Act (H.R. 7128), sponsored by Rep. Mike Flood, R-Neb., to reauthorize through 2034 the federal government’s Terrorism Risk Insurance Program (TRIA), which covers some of the losses from terrorism that commercial property and casualty insurers might pay. Flood said changes included in the reauthorization would both “protect taxpayers in the event of future claims” and improve transparency for how an event is deemed terrorism and therefore eligible for program funds. A bill opponent, Rep. John W. Rose, R-Tenn., said continuing what was meant to be a short-term post-9/11 program meant “quietly gambling with taxpayers’ exposure to potentially massive losses while ignoring the absence of any real market breakdown.” The vote, on June 29, was 373 yeas to 15 nays.

YEAS: Davids (KS) D-KS (3rd), Estes R-KS (4th), Schmidt R-KS (2nd), Mann R-KS (1st)

House Vote 3:

INTERVENTION IN LEBANON: The House has rejected a bill (H. Con. Res. 108), sponsored by Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., that would have required the removal of U.S. soldiers from hostilities in Lebanon. Tlaib said the bill was needed because “the United States is currently engaged in illegal and unauthorized hostilities, supporting the Israeli invasion of Lebanon, in violation of the War Powers Act.” An opponent, Rep. Brian Mast, R-Fla., said there were no American soldiers in Lebanon, and the bill would undermine “the best chance for peace between Israel, Lebanon, and the United States of America that has existed in decades.” The vote, on June 30, was 189 yeas to 235 nays.

YEAS: Davids (KS) D-KS (3rd)

NAYS: Estes R-KS (4th), Schmidt R-KS (2nd), Mann R-KS (1st)

House Vote 4:

CONGRESS AND SEXUAL HARRASSMENT: The House has passed a bill (H. Res. 1399), sponsored by Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., to require the House Ethics Committee to gather records regarding settlements of sexual harassment claims brought against specific House members, and release the records. Massie said the release would help “convince and assure the people that we are conducting the people’s business with the utmost integrity and treating the officers and employees of this institution with the respect that they deserve.” The vote, on June 30, was 420 yeas to 0 nays, with 1 voting present.

YEAS: Davids (KS) D-KS (3rd), Estes R-KS (4th), Schmidt R-KS (2nd), Mann R-KS (1st)
