Votes at a glance: House adopts multiple resolutions and bills; adjourns until May 6
Summary
On May 5 the Pennsylvania House adopted a series of ceremonial resolutions and bills (including HR152, HR203 as amended, HR259, HB2340), recorded multiple amendment votes, and approved a motion to adjourn until 05/06/2026.
The Pennsylvania House moved through a packed calendar on May 5, taking recorded votes on a mix of ceremonial resolutions and substantive bills and approving a motion to adjourn until May 6.
Key outcome highlights:
- HR152 (Line Worker Appreciation Day): adopted, recorded vote 198 ayes, 3 nays. - HR203 (study of medical incidents/definitions): an amendment that revised definitions and removed the term "medical error" was agreed to (ayes 152, nays 49); the resolution as amended was adopted (ayes 126, nays 75). - HR259 (recognition of Ukrainian Independence Day): adopted, recorded vote 187 ayes, 14 nays. - HB2340 (malt beverage tax credit carryforward extension): passed final passage with a recorded vote of 194 ayes, 7 nays.
Floor action also included committee recommitments and calendar adjustments as moved by the majority leader. Representative Cutler moved that the House adjourn until Wednesday, 05/06/2026 at 11 a.m.; the ayes prevailed and the House adjourned.
Many calendar items were handled by unanimous or lopsided recorded votes. Where the transcript recorded an amendment or an individual roll call, those tallies are listed above; the House also agreed to a number of bills "as agreed to" without extended debate and returned several measures to committee consistent with standard floor procedure.
