Senate elects three senators to judicial nominating board for two-year terms
Summary
The Senate elected three senators — Majer, Norris and Hashim — to the judicial nominating board following nominations from the committee on committees and a voice vote on the floor.
The Senate elected three senators to serve on the judicial nominating board for two-year terms ending Jan. 30, 2027, after the Committee on Committees placed nominees before the full body.
The senator from Chittenden placed the names of Senator Majer of Windsor District as the member from the majority party; Senator Norris of Franklin District as the member from the minority party; and Senator Hashim of Wyndham District as the third member of the board in nomination. After a motion to close nominations and to have the secretary cast one ballot, the Senate approved the slate by voice vote. The chair announced the ayes carried and declared the three elected for the two years next ensuing, ending Jan. 30, 2027.
Committee on Committees had developed the list of nominees following its usual process for judicial-nominating positions, which the senator from Chittenden described as a different procedure than other committee appointments; the nominations required a full‑body vote. A senator seconded the nominations on the floor and the clerk cast a single ballot for the three nominees as is customary when nominations are uncontested on the floor.
No roll-call vote tally was recorded in the transcript; the outcome was announced by voice as approved. The Senate also made several committee and scheduling announcements before adjourning.
