On Thursday morning, the House passed an amended version of its reconciliation bill by a vote of 215-214, with one member voting present. The final bill came together in the early hours of Thursday morning, with the Rules Committee conducting a markup over 22 hours, enabling Republicans to finalize their text. However, the amendment to the bill does not change the education-related portions of the text from what the House Education & Workforce Committee approved. The measure now heads to the Senate, where the chamber is likely to amend the bill and send it back to the House for another vote before possible enactment. This is a developing story; stay tuned to Today’s News for more coverage and see our Reconciliation Web Center for more details.
