House Energy and Digital Infrastructure committee to move into executive session for security briefing
Summary
Members of the House Energy and Digital Infrastructure committee announced a motion to hold an executive session to receive a security briefing from the capital police during the committee's Jan. 15 meeting; the transcript records the motion but does not show a recorded vote or final outcome.
Representative Kathleen James opened the House Committee on Energy and Digital Infrastructure’s afternoon meeting on Wednesday, Jan. 15, and said the panel would move into an executive session for a security briefing.
“We will very quickly, go around the table and introduce ourselves, and then we will be moving into executive session for a, security briefing,” Representative Kathleen James said.
Representative Scott Campbell then moved the committee into executive session “to hear from the capital police on sensitive security matters.” Campbell’s motion was made on the record in the public portion of the meeting, and committee members exchanged brief procedural comments about whether a second was required.
“I would I would move that we, move into executive session to hear from the capital police on sensitive security matters,” Representative Scott Campbell said. When a second was queried, a member said a second was not needed and the chair asked for a voice vote. The meeting transcript does not record a vote tally or a formal announcement of the outcome.
Committee members present introduced themselves at the start of the meeting. Named participants on the record include Representatives Kathleen James (Manchester), Scott Campbell (St. Johnsbury), Richard Bailey (Memorial 2), Chris Morrow (Weston), Michael Southwood (Caledonia 2), Christopher Howell (Rutland 4), Dara Torrey (Washington 2), Grama Kleppner (Chittenden 13) and Laura Simillion.
The public transcript contains the motion and the committee’s stated purpose for the executive session (a security briefing by the capital police) but does not provide further details about the content of the briefing, any vote result, or subsequent actions. The record ends with the chair asking, “All in favor?” without a documented tally or outcome in the supplied transcript.
The committee’s movement to an executive session means the details of the planned security briefing are not part of the public record in the provided transcript. No statutes, ordinances or other legal authorities were cited in the recorded portion of the meeting.
