The House of Representatives overwhelmingly voted to pass legislation targeting forced organ harvesting on Monday. It passed 413 to 2.

The two lawmakers who voted against the measure are Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Thomas Massie (R-KY). Nineteen House members did not vote.

“This bill imposes sanctions on persons (individuals and entities) involved in forced organ trafficking and authorizes the Department of State to revoke the passports of individuals convicted of certain crimes related to organ trafficking,” a summary of the legislation reads.

Greene and Massie have gained reputations for voting against seemingly inoffensive and bipartisan legislation. In February, the pair voted against a resolution mourning the tens of thousands of people who died in the earthquakes in Syria and Turkey.
