The House completed third reading and passed S.23, an act relating to the use of synthetic media in elections, by a voice vote during the morning session, the presiding officer said.
Madam Speaker opened the packet for S.23 and asked, “Shall the bill pass in concurrence with proposal of amendment?” A voice vote followed; the presiding officer said, “The ayes do have it,” and announced the bill passed in concurrence with proposal of amendment.
The third reading and the vocal vote were recorded on the floor without a roll-call tally in the transcript. The chamber then recessed until the fall of the gavel at 2 p.m., the presiding officer said.
The session began with the presiding officer asking members to rise for a moment of silence for the assassination of former Speaker Melissa Portman and her husband and the shooting of Senator Hoffman and his wife; members then recited the pledge of allegiance. Those remarks were delivered as part of opening business before the House took up S.23.
No amendment text, roll-call vote tally, or sponsor statement for S.23 appears in the provided transcript; those details were not specified during the recorded third reading and voice vote.
