House approves most measures on final calendar; sports-calendar bill defeated
Summary
On June 11, 2026 the Puerto Rico House of Representatives approved a multi-item final calendar but defeated Proyecto de la CE1mara 1151 (a proposed unified sports calendar for youth events). Most bills on the calendar cleared final votes; 1151 was the lone defeat.
The Puerto Rico House of Representatives set and completed a 30-minute final voting session on June 11, 2026, approving a slate of bills and joint resolutions while rejecting one measure: Proyecto de la CE1mara 1151.
Portavoz Torres Zamora announced the calendar for final consideration, which included Projects 570, 572, 860, 936, 1151, 1173 and 1251 and several joint resolutions. After a 30-minute voting window that closed at 1:52 p.m., the clerk reported that every measure on the calendar received a majority of votes except P. de la CE1mara 1151, which was defeated.
The House approved, among others, Proyecto de la CE1mara 570 (text amendments previously read and approved), Proyecto de la CE1mara 572 (measures to extend certain educational and therapy coverage for students with special needs beyond age 21, as amended), Proyecto de la CE1mara 860 (adjustments to employer contributions for certain public servants' medical expenses), Proyecto de la CE1mara 936 (protections and remedies in employment contracts), Proyecto de la CE1mara 1173 and Proyecto de la CE1mara 1251, as well as a long list of joint resolutions that were read, amended where applicable, and approved.
The sole bill defeated in the final roll call was Proyecto de la CE1mara 1151, the proposal to create a unified sports calendar for Puerto Rico and to require advance reporting of events involving minors. The chamber had previously read and debated P. de la CE1mara 1151 and approved it in earlier stage votes and amendment readings; the final defeat occurred during the definitive 30-minute voting session.
Members registered a handful of explanatory votes and abstentions before the final roll-up (for example, a recorded abstention on P. de la CE1mara 572 for conflict-of-interest avoidance), and the clerk formally closed the vote at 1:52 p.m.
The House then moved to petitions and motions, approved blocks of recognitions and condolences, and recessed until the next scheduled meeting on Monday, June 15 at 1 p.m.
Votes at a glance: all calendar items except Proyecto de la CE1mara 1151 — passed; Proyecto de la CE1mara 1151 — defeated.
