Senate votes to adjourn until Jan. 29 after brief committee announcements
Summary
The Senate approved a motion to adjourn until 1 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 29, following brief announcements setting committee meeting times for Government Operations, Education and Appropriations.
The Senate voted to adjourn until 1 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 29, the presiding officer announced after a short series of committee scheduling notices.
Senator from Chittenden moved that the Senate adjourn pending announcements; no second was recorded on the transcript. The presiding officer called for the question, members responded “aye,” and the presiding officer declared, “We have adjourned until 1PM Wednesday, January 29.” The transcript does not record a roll-call tally or any recorded nay votes.
Members used the time before adjournment to announce committee meetings. The senator from Rutland said the Senate Government Operations Committee will meet at 2:30 p.m.; the senator from Bennington said the Education Committee will meet at 2:30 p.m.; and the senator from Washington announced that the Senate Appropriations Committee would meet in 10 minutes. These announcements were spoken during the same sequence of remarks that immediately preceded the adjournment motion.
The mover’s initial phrasing of the motion in the transcript included a different date (spoken as “January 20”), but the final adjournment time and date were announced by the presiding officer as 1 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 29. The transcript does not provide further scheduling details or a recorded vote count.
The Senate will reconvene at the time announced by the presiding officer and with the committee meetings as stated in members’ announcements.
