Summary

An attempt to add a special order addressing reported harassment of female employees at the Pennsylvania Game Commission was put to a roll-call vote and failed; the committee proceeded with an informational presentation by the commission director.

An unidentified committee member moved to make a special order of business to address reports of harassment of female employees at the Pennsylvania Game Commission, but the motion failed on a roll-call vote during an otherwise informational meeting of the House Game and Fisheries Committee.

The motion was offered immediately after the chair opened the meeting. The mover said, "The topic of the harassment of female employees in the Pennsylvania Game Commission has recently reported." The chair and other members debated whether the motion was in order because the session had been advertised as an informational budget meeting.

Committee staff conducted a roll-call vote. Multiple members voted "No," including Chair Kulick, Rep. Davidson, Rep. Doherty, Rep. Guggenauer, Rep. Gence, Rep. Haddock, Rep. Harris, Rep. Inglis, Rep. Kazim, Rep. Murzke, Rep. Resnick, Rep. Steel and Rep. Young. A block of members voted "Yes," including Chair Maloney, Rep. Anderson (designation), Rep. Cook, Rep. Debanzo (designation), Rep. Kuzma (designation), Rep. Labs (designation), Rep. Olsummer (designation), Rep. Reichardt (designation) and Rep. Smith and Rep. Wintling (each recorded "Yes"). The chair declared the motion failed.

After the vote, the chair invited Director Smith to present the Pennsylvania Game Commission's annual report. The meeting remained an informational session and adjourned immediately after the director's remarks.

The transcript records the motion and its defeat but does not contain further committee findings, staff presentations, or investigation directives related to the harassment reports. No formal investigative action or referral was recorded on the motion at this meeting.
