HCR 181 Vermont House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

House concurrent resolution congratulating the winners of the 2025 Spirit of the ADA Award

HCR 181 is a ceremonial resolution congratulating 25 Vermont businesses and organizations that won the 2025 Spirit of the ADA Award. It formally recognizes these recipients - such as Walmart Rutland, Copley Hospital, and the Vermont Granite Museum - for their inclusive employment practices that align with the Americans with Disabilities Act. The resolution directs the Secretary of State to send each winner a copy of the resolution, with no policy changes or new requirements for the recipients. This is purely symbolic recognition, not a legislative action affecting laws or regulations.

MINOR

This is a formatting-only change between the introduced and adopted versions of HCR 181, a concurrent resolution congratulating the winners of the 2025 Spirit of the ADA Award. The substantive text, sponsors, award recipients, and resolutions are identical in both versions. The changes reflect the transition from an introduced bill layout to an enrolled/adopted format with a new resolution number (R-222), session year (2026), and legislative tracking number.

TECHNICAL

Resolution number changed from H.C.R. 181 to R-222, reflecting the assigned enrolled number upon adoption.

Added session year '2026' and page numbering ('Page 1 of 1') consistent with adopted legislative formatting.

Removed introductory headers 'State of Vermont', 'House of Representatives', 'Montpelier, Vermont', and 'Concurrent House Resolution' that are part of the introduced bill template but not used in the enrolled format.
