Meeks votes No on H.Res. 590, the resolution that passed the Rescissions Act of 2025 in the House. The rest passed the House by voice vote or without objection, which records no individual votes.
Meeks votes Yes on the GENIUS Act on stablecoins (digital tokens pegged to the dollar), the Epstein Files Transparency Act and the defense policy law for fiscal year 2026.
On funding the government, Meeks votes Yes on the January 2026 funding law for science, energy, Interior and the EPA, and the September 2026 funding extension, and No on the March 2025 full-year funding law, the November 2025 law that ended the 43-day shutdown and the February 2026 funding law for a further group of agencies.

Congress cancelled 24 federal rules by recorded vote in the House in that time. Meeks votes to cancel 1 and against cancelling 21, and did not vote on 2. The rules Meeks votes to cancel come from: Treasury: Internal Revenue Service (1).
Meeks votes differently from most House Democrats on 3 of 55 Yes and No votes: Yes on the GENIUS Act on stablecoins (digital tokens pegged to the dollar), No on the HALT Fentanyl Act and Yes on the law that cancels an IRS rule that would have required decentralized finance platforms to report their customers' digital asset sales the way stockbrokers do.
