Votes at a glance: House passes measures on deferred sentences and home-improvement fraud
Summary
On April 10, 2026 the Vermont House approved S.181 (eliminating a pre-sentence investigation requirement for deferred sentences) and S.183 (home- and land-improvement fraud) by voice vote in concurrence with the Senate's versions; both were reported passed by the presiding officer following the recorded voice votes.
The Vermont House, meeting April 10, 2026, took voice votes on two Senate bills and the presiding officer announced both measures passed in concurrence.
S.181 was taken up on third reading and concerns elimination of the requirement for a pre‑sentence investigation before imposing a deferred sentence; after the question was put, the presiding officer announced the bill had "passed in concurrence with proposal of amendment." No roll‑call tally was recorded in the transcript; the passage was by voice vote.
S.183, an act addressing home‑improvement and land‑improvement fraud, was also read and put to a voice vote. The presiding officer announced the bill "passed in concurrence." As with S.181, the transcript records the voice result but does not include a roll‑call tally or named vote record.
Both actions were conducted under the House's routine floor procedure for third reading and voice voting. The transcript does not provide specific recorded vote counts on the floor for either bill; committee reports preceding the floor action are summarized in the transcript but floor passage was resolved by voice vote and announcement.
