HR 1461 has passed the House

Roll call vote on the full bill is here. Rep. Frank's "motion to recommit with instructions" failed 200-220, meaning that Rep. Oxley's Manager's Amendment did pass, the anti-voter-registration provisions included. For details of the substantive regulatory amendments see again the House floor summary and the OMB Watch narrative. The roll call from the earlier 210-205 vote to pass the Manager's Amendment is now available. THOMAS will presumably update its HR 1461 entry shortly.

....Rep. Julia Carson, D-Indiana, during a floor speech in memory of Rosa Parks, just called the voter provision "the most insidious inclusion in a housing bill that I've ever seen."

[MORE: HUD Assistant Secretary Brian Montgomery said yesterday that the House version of the bill "is not a bill the HUD can back." Don't know if any of today's amendments have changed that position at all.]
