Institutions committee schedules vetting of governor’s parole-board appointees
Summary
Committee members agreed to contact and schedule confirmation conversations with parole board nominees and alternate members the governor has appointed; staff suggested a Thursday meeting to gather nominees on Zoom for brief interviews.
The Senate Committee on Institutions on April 29 reviewed a list of governor-appointed nominees for parole board membership and alternate positions and agreed to reach out to the nominees to confirm their willingness to serve and to schedule vetting conversations.
The chair identified two nominees from Bennington, South Burlington and Waterbury Center areas (one a parole board appointee and one an alternate) and asked staff to contact them. Committee members said the standard practice is to invite nominees onto Zoom, question them briefly and confirm their interest before the committee acts.
Senator Ingalls (name referenced by the chair) and other members suggested conducting the vetting session on Thursday because the committee’s schedule was otherwise open. No confirmation votes were held; this was a scheduling and process decision to contact nominees and organize hearings.
