Summary
Clerks read a list of bills and resolutions assigned to standing committees, a biennial report to the House was presented, and the chamber approved a motion to adjourn until Sept. 23, 2025.
The House of Representatives convened at noon for a brief session in which clerks read committee referrals for multiple bills and resolutions and the chamber approved a motion to adjourn until Tuesday, Sept. 23, 2025, at 11 a.m.
A clerk read a biennial report submitted in response to House Resolution 936 of 2014 from the Joint State Government Commission regarding diabetes prevention and maintenance programs. The clerk then read a series of referrals dated Sept. 11, 2025, and subsequent referral notices that assigned bills and resolutions to standing committees, including Commerce, Health, Human Services, Judiciary, Liquor Control, Transportation, Veterans Affairs and Emergency Preparedness, Agricultural and Rural Affairs, Education, Insurance, Appropriations, and Children and Youth. Specific bill and resolution identifiers read into the record included, among others, House Bill 1860, House Resolution 315, House Resolution 312, House Resolution 311, House Bill 1859, Senate Bill 652, Senate Bill 241, Senate Bill 713, Senate Bill 952 and several additional House bills and resolutions listed with committee referrals.
The chair also announced that several House journals were in print and, without objection, would be approved for specified dates in April, May and June of 2025. The chair noted a birthday acknowledgment for "caucus chair Matt C., our colleague from Beaver County," read from the floor. The chair advised the assembly that a motion by Representative Greene of Philadelphia was before the House to adjourn until Sept. 23, 2025, at 11 a.m., unless sooner recalled by the speaker. The motion was put to a voice vote; the chair declared, "The ayes have it," and the House stood adjourned under the terms of the motion.
There was no recorded floor debate on any of the referred bills in the provided transcript, and no roll-call vote was recorded for the adjournment motion beyond the voice vote the chair announced. The clerical reading of referrals and the presentation of the Joint State Government Commission report were the primary substantive items entered into the record during this brief session.
The House will reconvene on Tuesday, Sept. 23, 2025, at 11 a.m., unless recalled earlier by the speaker.
