Summary
At a brief Senate Rules Committee meeting April 22, members voted to relieve the committee of S.131, an amendment to the charter of the City of Burlington; no discussion was recorded and five senators answered "Yes" on the roll call.
The Senate Rules Committee voted to relieve itself of S.131, an amendment to the charter of the City of Burlington, during a brief meeting Tuesday, April 22.
The item, listed on the notice calendar as S.131 and reported out of the Government Operations Committee, did not meet crossover because the charter amendment was passed on town meeting day, a committee member said. With no discussion requested, the clerk called the roll and five senators recorded "Yes."
An unidentified staff member opened the meeting and described the agenda item, saying the committee would consider a motion on S.131 and asking whether there was any discussion. When no comments were offered, the clerk conducted a roll call. The transcript records affirmative votes from Senator Lyons; Senator Ram Hinsdale; Senator Beck; Senator Kohl; and Senator Baru. The meeting then adjourned.
The transcript does not record a mover or seconder for the motion, any amendments, debate on the substance of the charter amendment, or next steps for S.131. It also does not specify the full roll of committee members or the vote tally beyond the five recorded "Yes" responses.
