Joint resolution providing for an election to fill a vacancy in the Office of Sergeant at Arms

This bill establishes a special election to fill the vacancy in Vermont's Sergeant at Arms position, which will occur when the current officeholder retires on March 1, 2024. It requires the Senate and House of Representatives to meet in joint session on March 1, 2024, at 10:30 AM to vote for a replacement who will serve for the remainder of the current term. If the election cannot be completed on that day, the resolution mandates that the two chambers continue meeting on subsequent weekdays until a new Sergeant at Arms is selected. The measure directly affects the Vermont General Assembly and the Sergeant at Arms office, ensuring continuity in the legislative branch's security and administrative functions.
