House reassigns Senate Bill 232 on public libraries to Education Committee
Summary
The House adopted a motion relieving the Committee on Government Operations and Military Affairs of Senate Bill 232 (relating to public libraries and the Department of Libraries) and committed the bill to the Committee on Education by voice vote.
The member from Vergennes moved that the Committee on Government Operations and Military Affairs be relieved of Senate Bill 232, described on the floor as an act relating to public libraries and the Department of Libraries, and that the bill be committed to the Committee on Education. The Speaker put the question to the House and the motion was adopted by voice vote; the Speaker announced, "The eyes appear to have it. The eyes do have it, and you have relieved the Committee on Government Operations and Military Affairs of Senate Bill 232 and committed the same to the Committee on Education."
The transcript records the motion, the voice vote, and the Speaker's announcement of the result; no roll-call or individual member votes were recorded in the session transcript. The motion was procedural (committee reassignment) rather than a final passage of the underlying bill.
No additional debate or floor discussion of the bill's substance appears in the transcript excerpt; the record indicates only the committee reassignment and the vote outcome.
