HR 19 Vermont House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

House resolution providing requirements for bills creating new State-directed spending obligations on the Education Fund

This bill establishes a new rule requiring any legislation that creates new state-directed spending obligations on Vermont's Education Fund to be introduced as a stand-alone bill rather than combined with other measures. The rule defines state-directed spending as supplemental state aid appropriated from the Education Fund to school districts for specific purposes that cannot be included in a school district's general education spending. Under this rule, passing such bills on third reading, voting on Senate amendments, and adopting committee conference reports would require a two-thirds vote of members present. The measure directly affects how future spending bills related to the Education Fund are drafted, introduced, and voted on by the Vermont House of Representatives.
