The Senate confirmed Heather Chase as a member of the Vermont Economic Progress Council after suspending its rules to take up the gubernatorial appointment and voting to confirm without debate.

A senator moved that the rules be suspended and that the appointment of Heather Chase be taken up and, without debate, that she be confirmed by the Senate. "I move that the roles be suspended and that the gubernatorial appointment of Heather Chase as a member of the Vermont Economic Progress Council be taken up and without debate, she be confirmed by the senate," the mover said on the floor. The motion carried on a voice vote: "All in favor, say aye. Aye. All opposed, nay." The presiding officer announced, "The ayes have it, and the motion carries."

The floor record indicates the confirmation was acted on without debate; the transcript does not include further details about Chase’s background, the vacancy she fills, term length, or her professional affiliation beyond the council appointment.
