H.R. 34: 21st Century Cures Act

This was a vote to pass H.R. 34 (114th) in the Senate.

This bill became the vehicle for passage of the 21st Century Cures Act.

The bill was originally introduced as the Tsunami Warning, Education, and Research Act of 2015 (see S. 533).

On Nov. 30, 2016, the House replaced the text of H.R. 34 completely with provisions similar to H.R. 6, an earlier version of the 21st Century Cures Act.

Vote Details

Notes: “Aye” or “Yea”?

“Aye” and “Yea” mean the same thing, and so do “No” and “Nay”. Congress uses different words in different sorts of votes.

The U.S. Constitution says that bills should be decided on by the “yeas and nays” (Article I, Section 7). Congress takes this literally and uses “yea” and “nay” when voting on the final passage of bills.

All Senate votes use these words. But the House of Representatives uses “Aye” and “No” in other sorts of votes.
