"The Committee approved the following legislation by voice vote:"

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The committee's own September 15 markup page lists approved legislation from that meeting; H.R. 10303 does not appear in the listed approvals, so the bill remained without documented committee action during that concrete lookback event.
