Summary
The Senate accepted a committee of conference report after a division vote and voted to suspend rules to message three bills—S.69, S.109 and H.91—to the House. Lawmakers also set an afternoon adjournment and scheduled committee meetings.
The Senate accepted and adopted the report of the committee of conference after a division vote and voted to suspend its rules to message actions on three bills to the House, lawmakers said during a short floor session this morning.
Senator from Chittenden answered a question about funding for the "hops," saying, "we've done nothing here to limit the, the funds and the resources going to the hops for the next 2 years," and said there was time for "a full discussion, including with the administration, and with the regional, groups" between now and July 25–27.
The presiding officer called for a division on whether to accept the committee of conference report and, after the bell was rung to alert absent senators, announced the tally: "The nays, 12. The ayes have it, and we have accepted the report of the committee of conference." The roll showed 15 ayes and 12 nays on that question.
Following that vote, the Senate voted to suspend its rules in order to message the chamber's actions this morning on S.69; S.109, described on the floor as an "act relating to an age appropriate design code"; and H.91, described on the floor as an "act relating to miscellaneous judiciary procedures" and an "act relating to the non homeless emergency assistance and responsive transition to housing program." Senator from Windsor asked that the bell be rung "perhaps just just to alert senators who may not be in the chamber" before the division.
The presiding officer announced that the ayes had it on the suspension motion and that the actions would be messaged to the House "forthwith." The Senate then agreed to stand in adjournment until 3 p.m. this afternoon; several committees announced meetings to begin at the fall of the gap.
The floor remarks included procedural scheduling and direction for continuing conference committee work throughout the day. No further amendments or changes to the bills were recorded on the floor during this session.
