Chair Andy opens Senate Committee on Government Operations, schedules consideration of H 927 and Bennington Charter

Chair Andy opened the Senate Committee on Government Operations meeting on March 20, 2026, and said the panel would take up two items: H 927, a technical corrections bill for the 2026 legislative session, and the Bennington Charter.

Andy said the committee "finally have jurisdiction" over H 927, noting that Senator Morley had brought the bill and that it was now with Lynn. He said he expected Senator Clarkson to report on the bill when she returned.

On the Bennington Charter, Andy said Representative Greer was not expected to arrive before 2 p.m. but that the committee was aiming for a 1:30 p.m. reconvening so it could take up the charter immediately and, "unless there's issues," vote it out and adjourn for the day.

Andy also noted travel-weather concerns for members heading north and said those traveling south should expect rain rather than snow. He recessed the meeting until 1:30 p.m., saying if a member named Will arrived by then the committee could proceed and likely finish shortly before 2 p.m.

The session did not include debate on H 927 or the Bennington Charter in the portion of the meeting recorded here; no motions or votes were taken during the opening and scheduling remarks.
