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 C E1mara 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 C E1mara 1151, which was defeated.
The House approved, among others, Proyecto de la C E1mara 570 (text amendments previously read and approved), Proyecto de la C E1mara 572 (measures to extend certain educational and therapy coverage for students with special needs beyond age 21, as amended), Proyecto de la C E1mara 860 (adjustments to employer contributions for certain public servants' medical expenses), Proyecto de la C E1mara 936 (protections and remedies in employment contracts), Proyecto de la C E1mara 1173 and Proyecto de la C E1mara 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 C E1mara 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 C E1mara 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 C E1mara 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 C E1mara 1151 — passed; Proyecto de la C E1mara 1151 — defeated.
