Committee chair opened the hybrid meeting, confirmed a quorum and said the committee would introduce bills and conduct walk-throughs this afternoon.
The Committee on General & Housing held a hybrid meeting on 2026-01-16 to introduce and walk through several bills, including repeal of an obsolete mandatory retirement provision, creation of a mediator position for the Vermont Labor Relations Board, changes to firefighters' presumptive cancer coverage, and technical fixes to the Parental and Family Leave Act to include certain worker classes. The committee generally heard walk-throughs and preliminary questions and took limited procedural steps (consensus to request drafting on one bill).
