The House of Representatives announced late that it will continue its Committee of Conference work on “house bill 4 54” during the upcoming veto session and hold token sessions instead of adjourning, the chamber’s presiding officer said.

“I just wanna tell you how deeply I appreciate your patience tonight and the really great work, that we've done. Getting so many bills across the finish line. Our committee of conference conferees on, house bill 4 54 have been working very hard, to find a compromise for tonight,” the Speaker said, describing meetings with conferees, the governor’s office, the Senate and House leadership.

The Speaker told members the House would “continue the work” and “finish the work during the veto session,” and added that the chamber plans to deliver a bill to the governor after that session. The Speaker also asked members for feedback and support as the conferees continue negotiations.

During the session, a member identified in the transcript only as the member from Poultney moved to adjourn. “Madam speaker, I make a motion this body stand in adjournment until Monday, 06/02/2025 at 12PM,” the member said. The motion was put to a voice vote; the transcript records members saying “Aye” and “Nay,” but the provided excerpt does not include a complete roll call or a final announcement of the result.

The Speaker framed the interim schedule as a series of token sessions leading up to the veto session, saying the veto session was “not that far away.” The transcript contains no further detail about scheduling beyond the motion to adjourn to June 2, 2025, at 12 p.m., nor does it record a completed vote tally or any additional formal actions related to house bill 4 54.

Members seeking a full record of the adjournment vote or specifics of the Committee of Conference negotiations would need to consult the official House journal or subsequent session minutes, which are not included in the provided transcript excerpt.
