JRH 7 Vermont House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Joint resolution authorizing limited remote joint committee voting through the remainder of calendar year 2024

This bill allows members of Vermont's joint legislative committees to vote remotely for the rest of 2024 under specific conditions. Members can vote from home if they have tested positive for COVID-19 and are in isolation, or for up to three days for any other reason. To use this option, members must notify the committee chair or co-chairs and the clerk, and their votes will still count toward meeting quorum requirements. The committee clerk will record each remote vote and track how many days a member uses their non-COVID-19 remote voting allowance.
