Here s a look at how area members of Congress voted WASHINGTON - Here s a look at how area members of Congress voted from May 7 to May 13. Along with the week s roll call votes, the Senate also passed the Alaska Tourism Recovery Act (S. 593). House House Vote 1: ORPHAN PRESCRIPTION DRUGS: The House has rejected the Fairness in Orphan Drug Exclusivity Act (H.R. 1629), sponsored by Rep. Madeleine Dean, D-Pa. The bill would have prevented prescription drug manufacturers who receive orphan status for a drug from the Food and Drug Administration from using the same status for a newly approved drug that has an ingredient identical to the drug that received orphan status. Dean said the change would help ensure people can gain access to newer therapies and medically assisted treatments that are potentially blocked due to orphan designation. The vote, on May 11, was 250 yeas to 168 nays, with a two-thirds majority required for approval.
