The Vermont House of Representatives on Friday adopted Joint Senate Resolution 5, setting a weekend adjournment for Friday, Jan. 10, 2025, and directing the two chambers to meet again no later than Tuesday, Jan. 14, 2025.
The measure, offered by Senator Behrouz in the Senate, was read to the House and put to a voice vote. "All those in favor, please say aye," the presiding officer asked; "the ayes do have it," the clerk or presiding officer responded and the resolution was adopted in concurrence.
