House quickly clears multiple bills: H702, H707 and H877; H687 postponed
Summary
On voice votes the House adopted an amendment and passed H702, passed H707 and H877 on third reading; H687 was postponed for one legislative day.
In routine floor action the House moved multiple items with minimal debate.
H702 (an act relating to legislative operations and government accountability): The House adopted a member amendment that establishes a 14-member working group on grant administration and then passed the bill on third reading.
H707 (revising delivery and governance of the Vermont workforce system): The member from Jericho clarified that the effective date will be July 1, 2024; the House passed the bill by voice vote.
H877 (miscellaneous agricultural subjects): Read for third reading and passed by voice vote.
H687 (community resilience and biodiversity protection through land use): The member from Middlebury moved to postpone action for one legislative day; the motion carried.
These items were recorded on the floor with committee reports and were disposed of quickly so the House could move to longer floor debates later in the calendar.
