Miller's biggest defeat was when he lost 424-1 in congress for his amendment to House Resolution 6 of 1994. His refusal to make provision for homeschooling caused the national home school community to lobby the whole congress against Miller's amendment to the Improving America's Schools Act of 1994. Miller sponsored the Protecting Students from Sexual and Violent Predators Act, a bill that would require school districts receiving federal funds to give all employees criminal background checks. The bill passed the House of Representatives on October 22, 2013.
