Shortly thereafter, the Senate unanimously passing the bill, now sending it to the president's desk for signature. Congressman Clay Higgins of Louisiana, a Republican, the only dissenting House vote.

House Speaker Mike Johnson yesterday morning calling the petition hastily written, outlining numerous concerns with the legislation.
