Committee approves resolution and three bills, refers another to House floor

The Appropriations Committee handled several largely noncontroversial items on June 2, 2026, approving a resolution and multiple bills and referring one bill to the House floor.

House Resolution 5-24, recognizing June 2, 2026, as Cancer Action Day in Pennsylvania, was called by the Chair and passed the committee with no negative votes recorded. There was minimal discussion.

House Bills 11-06 and 24-25 were called as a package. Committee members recorded that Republicans and Democrats would vote affirmative and the Chair announced both bills would pass the committee unanimously. The committee executive director had earlier summarized HB11-06 as establishing a certification for chiropractic assistance under the State Board of Chiropractic and HB24-25 as establishing a career and technical education curriculum monetization grant program.

House Bill 23-65 was called up later; Representative Abney was noted present and a roll-call vote was requested. The Chair announced that "the ayes have it," and HB23-65 will pass the committee and be referred to the House floor. The bill was described in the executive director’s overview as allowing youth under age 12 to complete an education program to obtain a hunter or fur-taker license.

The transcript records procedural outcomes (passage, unanimous package approval, and referral to the floor) but does not provide numerical roll-call tallies or implementation timelines for the bills. No public comment or outside witnesses were recorded for these items during the meeting.

The committee adjourned after these items.
