House adjourns sine die after first reading of scores of bills; measures referred to Rules
Summary
The Arizona House of Representatives adjourned sine die after taking first readings of a long list of bills and referring those measures to the Rules Committee; the clerk was instructed to transmit unamended measures received from the Senate to the governor and the secretary of state.
The House of Representatives adjourned sine die on June 27, 2025, after taking first readings of numerous bills and referring those measures to the Rules Committee, the speaker said.
The action followed the reading of messages from the Senate and the “first reading” of a long list of bills and resolutions placed on the calendar. The speaker instructed the clerk to record the Senate's action and to convey unamended bills to the governor and unamended measures to the secretary of state.
The procedural work began when the speaker opened the floor and announced that messages from the Senate would not be read and would instead "be entered into the journal," then directed the clerk to record and transmit the measures. The transcript shows dozens of bill and resolution numbers cited during the first-reading roll call (examples in the transcript include items listed as HB 20 39, HB 20 41, HB 21 42, HB 21 43, HB 22 48, HB 23 05, HB 24 63, HB 25 11, HB 26 50, HB 27 40, HCM 2001, HCR 2004, SP 1579 and SCR 1040), which the speaker said were referred to Rules only and placed on file.
At one point a motion to appoint a committee to notify the Senate was made; the record shows brief procedural confusion and subsequent ministerial adjustments on the floor. The House then took up a motion to adjourn sine die. "All those in favor vote aye," the speaker called, and the ayes were declared to have it; no roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript.
Before the formal adjournment motion, the clerk was given instructions to transmit any unamended House measures received from the Senate to the governor or to the secretary of state, and the journal for June 26 and June 27, 2025, was approved as written. Members also used the floor for customary personal remarks of thanks to staff and colleagues prior to adjournment.
The proceedings recorded in the transcript are largely procedural: first readings, committee referral to Rules, direction to the clerk to transmit unamended measures, and the formal adjournment motion. The transcript does not record roll-call vote counts for the adjournment motion or for the referral action, and it does not show any substantive debate or amendment to the bills cited.
Looking ahead, the listed measures will remain on file subject to the Rules Committee's scheduling and any subsequent actions by either chamber or the governor.
