Below are the bills the House agreed to on final passage during the session and the roll‑call totals recorded on the floor.

House Bill 564 — Mental health crisis response: The clerk read a brief description that the bill “provides for mental health crisis response.” Final passage was recorded with 201 yeas and 1 nay. The clerk returned the bill to the Senate for concurrence.

House Bill 938 — Board voting seat for retired members: The bill, described on the floor as allowing a current retired member of ASPE or ASCAP to each have a voting seat on the board of governors, passed on final passage with 106 yeas and 96 nays; the clerk will return the measure to the Senate.

House Bill 1407 — Teacher certification update: The bill updates Pennsylvania teacher certification levels to pre‑K–6 and 6–12. Final passage was recorded as 202 yeas, 0 nays; the clerk will return the bill to the Senate for concurrence.

House Bill 1466 — Reverse mortgage counseling: Representative C. Fiske (majority chair of Government Oversight) urged support for House Bill 1466, which requires face‑to‑face counseling for applicants of reverse mortgage loans. Final passage was recorded as 167 yeas and 35 nays; the clerk will return the bill to the Senate.

House Bill 1573 — Data inventory requirement: The bill requires the establishment of a data inventory. Final passage was recorded as 102 yeas and 100 nays; the clerk will return the bill to the Senate for concurrence.

These items were taken up on the floor and recorded in the House journal; most measures were described in brief summaries read by the clerk and, where applicable, sponsors or committee chairs made brief remarks before final passage. Where the record shows the clerk returned a measure to the Senate, that is the next procedural step; final enactment requires any further Senate action and the governor’s approval.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","House Session -- July 14, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","On July 14, 2025 the Pennsylvania House approved a package of bills on final passage, including measures on mental‑health crisis response, teacher certification, reverse mortgage counseling and other items; vote tallies and brief descriptions are listed below.","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},6510223,"House passes $50.6 billion General Appropriations bill after partisan debate",1444,18397000,19841000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5383749-d52b300b50355366a047b77809dc1da5&start=18397&end=19841","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5383749-d52b300b50355366a047b77809dc1da5/thumbnail_18397000.jpg","/articles/6510223/Pennsylvania/House-passes-506-billion-General-Appropriations-bill-after-partisan-debate","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6510223-328e2a6543d9f2977146d74b4e56ea6c/orig.mp4?Expires=1776312644&Signature=DsdMudXk5H8T~7CFLg6BZvZsbW01lixV4Bs-Ahm~0L8WmMa-2WFh7zjUZ-vGrKeJ3E0oyL1~uf83-jyzSlQkRgGfsJnO44LCLUbaDcLR0cYUWfNn37RsYIJfYb-Rpn8yMqRLKxhPEaixQMpI0J2v4q1qVjiY5eEfg6lb3sC0oTUnBj~Q6wEXL88TpCBqviCgNieeubX2bMobL9OjiKpElvKUIXj4rk-xVQnEootAXHBOPnwVvPNg0SDwGbFlq8jngstPye5e36zdbG2kYG9uNRaoJ6xmbununSSsg5lOMsc9zZZtGqmYJUAX1RJtoqojkaFhAxWqow52hYUDAJfpkA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Pennsylvania House of Representatives voted 105 to 97 on July 14, 2025, to pass House Bill 1330, the General Appropriations Bill for fiscal year 2025–26, and the clerk will return the measure to the Senate for concurrence.

The bill, moved on the floor as the next step in the budget process, reduces the governor’s initial proposal from $51.5 billion to $50.6 billion, a change highlighted repeatedly in floor debate as the chamber weighed spending priorities against concerns about revenue and long‑term fiscal sustainability.

Representative Struzzi, chair of the Appropriations Committee (Indiana County), told colleagues the amended bill still “spends too much money that we don’t have” and said the House Republican caucus has pressed for additional revenue‑generating steps, permitting and regulatory changes, and workforce development measures to grow the tax base. Struzzi urged members to vote no, saying the document lacked a clear plan to pay for the proposed level of spending.

Representative Harris (Appropriations Committee, Philadelphia County) countered that hundreds of local officials, nonprofit leaders and service providers had been awaiting a spending plan since June 30 and argued the House must act to provide stability for schools, senior services and human services. Harris said passing the bill was a necessary step to move budget negotiations forward and to preserve programs serving vulnerable Pennsylvanians.

Representative Bradford (chair of the House Rules Committee) said the amended bill reflects bipartisan compromise, including $10 billion in reserves that he said will help the Commonwealth weather anticipated federal funding cuts. Bradford described the measure as “progress” toward a full, balanced plan, and urged support to continue negotiations with the Senate and the governor’s office.

Opponents repeatedly raised the same themes: the spending level remained too high without accompanying revenue measures, and demographic and federal funding pressures require structural reforms. Supporters said the reductions from the governor’s original proposal and the inclusion of reserves made the bill a pragmatic step toward a final budget.

The House recorded the final vote as 105 yeas and 97 nays. The bill’s next procedural step is return to the Senate for concurrence; enactment will require any further actions by that chamber and the governor’s approval.

Implementation and timeline: the House recorded its approval and the clerk will transmit the bill to the Senate for concurrence. The final budget's details, including any fiscal code or tax provisions, were not resolved on the floor and were described repeatedly as subject to continued negotiation.","The Pennsylvania House approved House Bill 1330, the General Appropriations Bill for fiscal year 2025–26, by a 105–97 vote and sent the measure to the state Senate for concurrence after several hours of debate about spending levels and revenue plans.","actionData","errors"]
