The Vermont Senate on May 20, 2025, took several procedural votes: it approved messaging H 50, H 91 and S.59 to the House and received a House message refusing to concur on H 454 and requesting a committee of conference.

Senator from Chittenden moved that the Senate suspend its rules in order to message actions taken earlier on H 50 (an act relating to identifying underutilized state buildings), H 91 (an act relating to the Vermont homeless emergency assistance and responsive transition to housing program) and S 59 (open-meeting law amendments) to the House forthwith. The motion passed by voice vote.

On H 454 (an act relating to transforming Vermont's education governance, quality and finance system), the House refused to concur and requested a committee of conference. The Senate named its committee of conference as Senator Bongart, Senator Cummings and Senator Beck.
