Senate suspends Rule 31 to prevent H.141 from being sent to finance committee
Summary
A senator moved to suspend Senate Rule 31 so House Bill H.141, described as a fiscal year 2025 budget-adjustment act, would not be referred to the Committee on Finance; the Senate approved the motion by voice vote.
A member of the Vermont Senate moved to suspend Senate Rule 31 and prevent House Bill H.141 from being referred to the Committee on Finance; the chamber approved the motion by voice vote.
"Appearing on the calendar for notice, I move that the senate rule 31 be suspended and that h 1 41, an act relating to fiscal year 20 25 budget adjustment, not be referred to the committee on finance," the senator identified in the transcript as the "Senator from Washington" told the chamber. The presiding officer put the question and, after a voice vote, "the ayes have it," and H.141 was not referred to the Committee on Finance.
The transcript does not include the text of H.141 or any floor debate about the bills substance; the motion appears to be a procedural step to keep the bill on the floor calendar rather than sending it to committee.
