Joint resolution relating to adjournment of the 2023 Biennial Session of the General Assembly
This joint resolution directs the Vermont Senate and House of Representatives to adjourn their 2023 legislative session between June 20 and June 22, 2023, with plans to reconvene on January 3, 2024. The bill allows lawmakers to return only to vote on adjourning the session or to address impeachment proceedings against Franklin County State's Attorney John Lavoie and/or Franklin County Sheriff John Grismore. It requires both chambers to grant mutual consent for their respective sessions to continue or end during this period, following Vermont constitutional requirements. This procedural measure formally concludes the current legislative term while reserving the option to address specific legal matters before the next session begins.
