Sentence here:House leaders should immediately put the bill up for a vote.

found several explainations on 'put-up' ,like to increase or to stay somewhere,but I don't thinkthey fit here.

Any idea helps

It simply means that they (the house leaders) put forward (suggested) a (new) law proposal (the bill) for the house members to vote on. This particular activity usually takes place in an assembly/parliament.
