Toward the end of the session members took up nominations to the State Board of Education. A senator made a motion to approve Brian Campion of Bennington to the State Board of Education. Committee members discussed procedural steps for handling nomination letters and journaling votes; staff instructed members that the nomination letter and indicator of the committee vote should be returned to the Secretary of the Senate for journal entry.

Committee discussion included brief statements about nominees’ qualifications from senators who had interviewed them. A number of other nominees were referenced by members as part of housekeeping on committee assignments; those were not discussed in detail during the session. The transcript records the motion to approve Brian Campion and members’ intent to record action with the Secretary of the Senate, but does not include a formal roll‑call vote tally in the record available from this meeting.
