Senate Passes H.875 on State Ethics Commission; Roll Call Shows Divided Chamber
Summary
The Senate passed H.875 (state ethics commission and state code of ethics) after a roll-call vote requested by a senator; the secretary read roll and the presiding officer announced the result as 18 yea and 10 nay as recorded on the floor.
The Vermont Senate voted to pass H.875, an act concerning the state ethics commission and the state code of ethics, after a roll-call vote was requested on the floor.
A senator from Chittenden Central requested a roll-call; the secretary then read the roll. The recorded roll-call on the floor listed individual senators' votes as read aloud by the secretary. When the presiding officer announced the results, the tally as read on the floor was 18 yeas and 10 nays, and the presiding officer declared the bill passed.
Because the vote was a roll-call, individual senator responses are part of the legislative record as read aloud by the secretary on the floor. The Senate subsequently suspended its rules and messaged its action on H.875 to the House.
Next steps: the Senate’s action will be transmitted to the House for concurrence and any subsequent enrollment steps.
