Claimant: Social Media


Claim: Thirty-five Pennsylvania Republicans voted against a bill that guaranteed daily recess for children in the state.


Rating: TRUE


Explanation: Thirty-five Republican members of the Pennsylvania House voted against House Bill 1505, which included a requirement for daily recess for elementary school students. However, the vote covered the entire bill, so it is unclear whether each lawmaker opposed the recess requirement specifically or other provisions.
