House adopts JRH 12 and adjourns the 2024 session sine die
Summary
The House adopted joint resolution JRH 12 on final adjournment of the General Assembly, suspended rules to message the action to the Senate, directed the clerk to notify the Senate that the House had completed business, and adjourned sine die; appointments under 2024 Act 146 were also announced.
The House of Representatives adopted JRH 12, a joint resolution relating to the final adjournment of the General Assembly in 2024, and then completed a series of procedural steps to notify the Senate and adjourn sine die.
The presiding officer introduced JRH 12 and said it was offered by "Representatives Long of Newfane, McCoy, the Pulte, and Small of Winooski," noting the clerk had emailed the resolution and posted copies on the House webpage. An unidentified reader recited the resolution text: "Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives, that when the speaker of the House of Representatives and the president of the Senate adjourn their respective houses on 17th or 18th day of June 2024, they be adjourned sine die." The presiding officer then called for a vote; after a voice vote the presiding officer announced, "The ayes do have it, and you have adopted the resolution."
Following adoption, the House approved a motion to suspend its rules to message the action on JRH 12 to the Senate forthwith and then approved a motion directing the clerk to inform the Senate that the House had completed its business and was ready to adjourn sine die pursuant to the resolution. Each step was approved by voice votes on the floor; no roll-call tallies were recorded in the transcript.
Earlier in the session the presiding officer, citing 2024 Act 146, announced appointments: Representative Marcotte of Coventry was appointed to a special oversight committee on workforce expansion and development and to the advisory council on child poverty and strengthening families; Representative McGill of Bridgeport and Representative Granigan of Georgia were also appointed. The presiding officer presented those appointments before introducing JRH 12.
A final motion to adjourn sine die was made and approved by voice vote, after which the presiding officer declared "this body has adjourned the 2024 session sine die." The transcript does not include recorded vote counts or further debate on the resolution or the appointments.
