Summary

The Senate agreed by voice vote to recommit S.23, a House proposal of amendment on synthetic media and elections, to the Committee on Government Operations for further consideration at the request of the senator from Rutland County.

The Vermont Senate voted by voice to recommit S.23 — titled on the floor as "an act relating to the use of synthetic media and synthetic media and elections" — to the Committee on Government Operations after a senator raised that a House proposal of amendment arrived late and asked the Senate to send the amendment back to committee for review.

The senator identified on the floor as the senator from Rutland County asked that the bill be recommitted so the Senate committee could "take a look at what they suggested we do with it and then make a determination." The presiding officer put the question; senators voted by voice and the presiding officer declared, "The ayes have it and the motion carries." The clerk then stated the bill would be committed to the Committee on Government Operations.

The recommitment was a procedural action to allow committee review of the other body's proposed changes. The record shows a voice vote; no roll-call tally or individual votes were recorded in the transcript.
