The vote was 252-175.
Modeled after the panel that investigated the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, the legislation would give the Jan. 6 commission subpoena power to call witnesses and produce a report, analyzing the assault on the Capitol and how to prevent a similar attack in the future.
The commission would be appointed with five Democrats and five Republicans, all expected to have expertise in law enforcement, civil rights and intelligence.
The Republican votes in favor of the commission show a break with GOP leadership, including House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy and former President Donald Trump.
Indiana s 9th District Rep. Hollingsworth tweeted a statement on his vote Thursday morning, saying he supported the bill so House Democrats would not be left unchecked.
