H R 3010 - On Agreeing to the Amendment 24 to H R 3010

Constitutional Vote: Yes

Vote Date: June 24, 2005

Mental Health Screening. During consideration of the Labor-HHS-Education appropriations bill (H.R. 3010), Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) offered an amendment to \"prohibit the use of funds in the bill to create or implement any universal mental health screening program.\"

The House rejected Paul\’s amendment on June 24, 2005 by a vote of 97-304 (Roll Call 317). We have assigned pluses to the yeas because federally funding such programs is unconstitutional.
