The Pennsylvania House of Representatives voted on multiple measures July 14, 2025. 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.
