The Commission on Women of the House of Representatives held a public final-consideration (mark-up) session on May 14, 2024 and approved Proyecto de la Cámara número 1901 by a vote of 11 in favor, 0 against and 0 abstentions.
The session opened at 9:43 a.m. with the commission chair explaining that under sección doce punto veintiuno of the House rules the public final-consideration session is intended for proposing and deciding on amendments and for public transparency. The chair said the measure under consideration was Proyecto de la Cámara 1901 and urged members to support it, stating in Spanish, “por lo que exhorto a todos los compañeros de esta honorable comisión a votar a favor de esta pieza legislativa.”
Sherlyn Reyes Ortiz, executive director of the Commission, told members the bill and a positive committee report had been circulated to members on May 10, 2024 in compliance with sección doce punto veintiuno A. She also confirmed that no additional amendments were filed during the allowed period under sección doce punto veintiuno inciso AYD.
The director conducted a roll-call vote. Multiple representatives on the record indicated their support when called; the director announced the final tally: “Votos a favor, once, votos en contra, cero, y votos abstenido, ninguno.” Following the tally the chair declared, “Esta pieza legislativa ha sido aprobada.”
The chair asked the director to prepare the certification of the public final-consideration session and to prepare the final text of the measure as approved so it can be presented with a positive report to the House secretary. The commission then closed its work on the measure for the morning.
The record shows the commission complied with the procedural notice and circulation requirements specified in its rules prior to voting. The transcript does not specify the substantive provisions of Proyecto de la Cámara 1901; the session focused on circulation, amendment status and the final roll-call vote.
