Votes at a glance: House actions include intranasal epinephrine, civil protection changes, conference appointments and commemorative resolutions
Summary
The House adopted several noncontroversial items by unanimous voice or concurrence, appointed members to a conference committee on a health bill, and read four house concurrent resolutions commemorating local events and people.
The House took a number of additional actions during the same floor session beyond the two lengthy debates reported above.
Appointments and messages: The House received a message from the Senate that it refused to concur in the House proposal of amendment on S.126 (an act relating to health care payment and delivery system reform) and requested a committee of conference. Pursuant to that message the Speaker (chair) appointed House members to the conference: the member from Essex, Representative Black; the member from Barretown, Representative McFawn; and the member from Winooski, Representative Rebecca (as named in the message).
Resolutions read on the floor (consent calendar): The House read four House Concurrent Resolutions adopted pursuant to the consent calendar: HCR130 commemorating the bicentennial of the Marquis de Lafayette's 1824–1825 American tour and Vermont stops; HCR132 congratulating the West Rutland High School Golden Horde girls basketball team on a fourth consecutive Division IV championship (the team was present in the gallery); HCR133 congratulating West Rutland standout Peyton (name spelling varied in transcript) on her high-school career and college plans; and HCR141 an in-memory resolution for Edward M. Hathaway, an EPA engineer who led Vermont Superfund projects.
Other bills concurred with senate amendments: The House concurred (unanimous voice) in the senate proposal of amendment with further amendment for H.209 (an act to allow intranasal epinephrine in schools) and H.222 (an act relating to civil orders of protection, with a technical clarification adopting Rule 16 civil-contempt guidance in certain proceedings). Both concurred actions were recorded by voice vote and reported as adopted.
Procedure: After the morning business the House recessed for lunch and planned to return at 1:00 p.m. to finish remaining calendar items.
