Senate votes to recommit H.319 to Natural Resources and Energy for further work
Summary
The Senate voted to recommit House bill H.319 (miscellaneous environmental subjects) to the Senate Natural Resources and Energy Committee with reports intact, citing outstanding and deeper issues.
The Vermont Senate voted to recommit H.319, a miscellaneous environmental subjects bill, to the Senate Natural Resources and Energy Committee for additional work.
Senator from Chittenden moved to recommit H.319 after discussions with the committee chair, saying that outstanding issues required deeper review. The motion specified that the reports accompanying the bill would be returned to the committee intact.
Senators on the floor said some language remains unnecessary or controversial and that committee-level amendment was the appropriate next step. The motion to suspend the rules and recommit with reports intact passed by voice vote.
The recommittal places H.319 back in Natural Resources and Energy for additional drafting and hearings before it returns to the floor.
