House of Representatives adjourns until June 23 after clerk refers bills to committees
Summary
At a rare Friday session in Harrisburg, the Pennsylvania House of Representatives recorded a motion to adjourn to Monday, June 23, 2025, and the clerk read referrals sending multiple bills and resolutions to standing committees, including one resolution to the uncontested calendar under Rule 35.
At 11 a.m. Friday in Harrisburg, the House of Representatives adjourned until Monday, June 23, 2025, at 12 noon after Representative Benham of Allegheny County moved to adjourn and the chair announced, “The ayes have it.”
Clerks read referrals that will send several bills and resolutions to standing committees for initial consideration. The clerk referred House Resolution 266 to the Consumer Protection, Technology and Utilities Committee, House Resolutions 262 and 264 to the Health Committee, and House Resolution 263 to the uncontested calendar under Rule 35. House Resolution 265 was referred to the Tourism, Recreation and Economic Development Committee.
The clerk also read referrals dated June 20, 2025: House Bills 1624 and 1625 were referred to the Communications and Technology Committee; House Bills 1626 and 1627 were referred to the Education Committee; and House Resolution 267 was referred to the Veterans Affairs and Emergency Preparedness Committee.
Why it matters: referrals send measures to committee for hearings, amendments and possible advancement to the floor. Referral to the uncontested calendar under Rule 35 indicates the sponsor asked that the resolution be placed on a calendar reserved for noncontroversial measures that can be passed without separate debate, subject to House rules.
No roll-call vote was recorded for the adjournment motion in the transcript; the motion was resolved by voice vote. The clerk read the referrals aloud as part of the record; no committee action or debate on the named measures was recorded in the provided transcript.
The House will reconvene Monday, June 23, 2025, at 12 noon unless the speaker recalls members sooner.
