Presiding officer, Vermont Senate, declared the Senate adjourned until 10 a.m. Monday, June 16, 2025, after determining a quorum was not present.
The adjournment was announced on the Senate floor under the chamber’s rules: “Pursuant to Senate Rule 8, I call the Vermont Senate to order,” the presiding officer said, and then, citing the absence of members required to conduct business, stated, “Pursuant to Rule 9, in the absence of a quorum, the Vermont Senate does adjourn till 10 a.m. on Monday, June 16, 2025.”
Nut graf: The declaration stopped any formal business for the day; no votes or legislative actions were taken or recorded during the sitting. By invoking the Senate’s rules, the presiding officer set the time for the Senate to return without discussion or roll-call votes in the intervening period.
There was no debate recorded and no motions or amendments were offered during the brief session. The presiding officer also asked for a moment of silence in lieu of devotional remarks before announcing the adjournment.
The Senate’s stated next meeting time is 10 a.m. Monday, June 16, 2025. The adjournment was procedural and did not, in itself, change or adopt any legislation or budgetary measures.
