The floor proceeded through a sequence of motions to table specific amendments, close debate on those amendments, and a motion to postpone further consideration because language of a late-filed amendment had not been made publicly available. The House recorded multiple narrow roll-call tallies on procedural motions.

Representative Schlossberg (the gentleman from Lehigh) made repeated motions to table amendments to HB 16 97 pursuant to House Rule 59. Representative Schlossberg moved that amendment a01483 be laid on the table; the chair then recognized members for brief debate. Representative Owlett urged members to reject the motion to table and to debate the amendment, saying the amendment\u0000would protect taxpayer dollars. Representative Schlossberg defended the motion, saying the amendment's intent could be addressed by separate legislation. The clerk recorded the vote on the motion and announced: the ayes are 102, the nays are 101, and the motion to lay the amendment on the table carried.

Similar motions to table additional amendments (including a01484, a01486 and a01489 as announced on the floor) were brought by Representative Schlossberg; the clerk recorded the same narrow result (ayes 102, nays 101) for those motions and the amendments were laid on the table.

Representative Stan Ball (Perry) and Representative Ham spoke in opposition to tabling some amendments, characterizing them as matters of taxpayer protection and public debate. Representative O'Neil asked the House to permit debate rather than automatically tabling the amendments. Representative Krupa (the gentlelady who rose to move postponement) argued that she sought to postpone consideration because the language of a technically late-filed amendment had not been made available for public review; she framed the motion as preserving public participation. Representative Grupa (the general lady from Fayette) formally moved to postpone consideration of HB16 97 until the late-filed amendment language was publicly available and asked to proceed on that motion. On the roll call, the clerk announced: the ayes are 95, the nays are 102; the motion to postpone failed.

After the procedural sequence on amendments and the failed postponement motion, the majority leader later moved that House Bill 16 97 be recommitted to the Committee on Appropriations (this recommit motion was announced alongside a list of other bills that the majority leader moved to recommit). The clerk's announcement on the floor included HB 16 97 in that recommit list.

Representative Schlossberg explicitly invoked House Rule 59 when making motions to table. Representative Krupa described her postponement motion on the floor: \"We must postpone the consideration of this bill because public participation must be preserved. We must postpone consideration of this bill because the rushed process is an affront to representative government.\" Representative Schlossberg urged members to table amendments citing the view that the amendments' policy objectives could be addressed separately and that tabling was appropriate on the floor.

No final passage roll call for the underlying bill was recorded on the floor transcript excerpt for the July 8 session; the floor action recorded in the transcript includes the repeated tabling motions with narrow margins, the failed postponement motion, and the subsequent announcement that HB 16 97 was among bills to be recommitted to appropriations.

The transcript shows the House conducted multiple close procedural votes on HB 16 97 that reflect a divided chamber on how the bill\u0000and its contested amendments\u0000should be handled procedurally and whether late-filed amendment language should delay floor consideration.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","House Session -- July 8, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Floor debate on House Bill 16 97 (described on the record as the \"Taxpayer Prevention Against Fraud Act\") included repeated motions to table amendments, recorded narrow roll-call tallies on those motions, a failed motion to postpone consideration of the bill, and a later recommit to appropriations as announced from the floor.","taxTitle","House of Representatives, Legislative, Pennsylvania","taxId",21057,"location","Pennsylvania","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6511346,"House approves package of bills and resolutions; key final votes listed",820,13920000,14740000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5331697-d6375e2e37662126e23c81d16cc10dd7&start=13920&end=14740","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5331697-d6375e2e37662126e23c81d16cc10dd7/thumbnail_13920000.jpg","/articles/6511346/Pennsylvania/House-approves-package-of-bills-and-resolutions-key-final-votes-listed","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6511346-52432a2edc89d385148a29e0a05f350a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771145058&Signature=RbDJVyRvd-ILyzH8UPiZJ6ne09biC7cAjizbShrnshDVpqKIjQt7UW9t7lZpBWDxmRa1~v3pVuKyftiCMF8He-IddM1m0MH1Ak2y6IPdPVR7ltVmaO69o45l8UyiD1ZrMJFX8KC41XmTTIt9v4y~q7VTWe0kSAN6k9lsZqciVj7IU2npUqmFWxV31Ro45TRMluqAQ~kbpNtP75qDfw0bfHFV-paqY2zIziqUPcDYXSMkMZJLKsg3Kd9lRM8LbYeaL2Fjr7BWx1n~yQQRQ5cSlepD77eqBd67XVabENa7JoDU2g1QgEn3i3ZInD3uCJFnvK5er8U1IKFx6FYubvvoew__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Pennsylvania House of Representatives took final action on several bills and a resolution during its July 8, 2025 floor session.
