Senate adopts adjournment resolution; introduces bills on agriculture, collective bargaining and transportation
Summary
The Vermont Senate adopted JRS 21 to set a weekend adjournment return date, and on the floor introduced S.124 (agriculture; referred to finance), S.145 (collective bargaining for assistant attorneys general; referred to government operations) and S.146 (transportation demand management plans; referred to transportation).
The Vermont Senate on April 8 adopted Joint Resolution JRS 21, which sets a return date following a planned weekend adjournment, and introduced several bills that were referred to committee.
Senator Ruth offered JRS 21, described in the reading as a joint resolution directing that when the two houses adjourn on Friday, April 11, 2025, they shall reconvene no later than Tuesday, April 15, 2025. The Senate adopted the resolution by voice vote; the transcript records “Ayes have it” but does not include a roll-call tally.
On introductions, the clerk read S.124, described as “an act relating to miscellaneous agricultural subjects” that would affect state revenue; the reading indicated S.124 was referred to the Senate Committee on Finance. Senator Chittenden introduced S.145, “an act relating to collective bargaining for assistant attorneys general,” and the bill was referred to the Committee on Government Operations. Senators White and Harrison introduced S.146, “an act relating to transportation demand management plans,” and the bill was referred to the Committee on Transportation.
The record shows these items were introductory first readings or referrals; no floor debate or vote on the substantive content of the bills was recorded in the transcript excerpt provided. The Senate completed these routine floor actions and proceeded to other business.
