House sets referrals, receives reports and agrees to adjourn until Jan. 26
Summary
The clerk read agency reports and referred multiple bills to standing committees; the Majority Leader moved HB 1909 from the table, and Representative Warren moved to adjourn the House until Jan. 26, 2026, a motion the chair approved by voice vote.
The House received multiple agency reports and the clerk announced referrals of several bills to standing committees before taking a motion to adjourn. The clerk read annual and financial reports from entities including the Philadelphia Parking Authority and the Pennsylvania Insurance Department and entered them into the record. The clerk then announced referrals of bills such as House Bills 2108 and 2107 to committee and placed House Resolution 383 on the uncontested calendar under Rule 35.
On the floor, the Majority Leader moved to remove House Bill 1909 from the table calendar and place it on the active calendar; the transcript records the motion but does not record a subsequent roll-call or voice vote on that specific motion in the provided segments. Later, Representative Warren moved that the House adjourn until Monday, Jan. 26, 2026, at 12 noon unless sooner recalled by the Speaker. The Chair called for a voice vote, asking "Those in favor, say aye" and "Those opposed, no," and then announced, "The ayes have it." The House was declared adjourned to the stated date.
Why it matters: The referrals define which committees will consider new bills and place matters on committee dockets; the Majority Leader27s motion to move a bill from the table to the active calendar signals forthcoming floor consideration for that measure. The adjournment sets the next scheduled floor meeting date and concludes the session recorded in these segments.
What the record does and does not show: The transcript lists referrals and the motions but does not include committee actions, the substance of the bill(s), or recorded roll-call vote tallies for the calendar-motion; the adjournment was approved by voice vote as recorded by the Chair.
Next steps: Referred bills will be considered by the committees to which they were assigned; HB 1909, if successfully placed on the active calendar, may be scheduled for debate or vote at a later date. The House will reconvene as noted on Jan. 26, 2026, unless recalled earlier by the Speaker.
