House adopts resolution to meet in Philadelphia; voting record and procedural moves at a glance
Summary
On July 22, 2026 the Pennsylvania House unanimously adopted a resolution (HR600) to meet Sept. 9, 2026, at Congress Hall in Philadelphia, held a tied suspension vote (101-101) that failed, and recorded the concurrence vote on HB 1042 (102-100). Representative Borowitz read House Resolution 550 designating June as 'Life Month.'
The House of Representatives handled several procedural items on July 22, 2026, that framed a full day of floor action.
House Resolution 600, reported by Representative Bradford (chair, Rules), authorized the House to hold session on Thursday, Sept. 9, 2026, at 5:45 p.m. at Congress Hall in Philadelphia. The clerk recorded 201 ayes and 0 nays; the resolution was adopted.
A motion to suspend the rules so the House could revert House Bill 1042 to a prior printer's number was debated and put to a vote; the suspension failed on a tie (yeas 101, nays 101), leaving the House’s amended text in place.
On the final constitutional roll-call for concurrence in Senate amendments to HB 1042, the yeas were 102 and the nays 100; the clerk announced the amendments were concurred in and would be communicated to the Senate.
Representative Borowitz (Clinton) read House Resolution 550, designating June 2026 as Life Month and referencing the 2022 Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision; the resolution was read on the floor. The House adjourned and set its next meeting for Sept. 9, 2026, at Congress Hall unless recalled sooner.
Ending: The session concluded after the concurrence vote and routine adjournment announcements.
