Joint resolution authorizing remote joint committee voting through the remainder of calendar year 2026 and the application of the ADA thereto
This bill allows members of Vermont's joint legislative committees to vote remotely for up to three days through the end of 2026. To use this option, a member must inform the committee chair and clerk, and the clerk will record the vote and track the usage. Additionally, the bill ensures that members with disabilities who cannot access a meeting room due to physical barriers can vote remotely without using one of their allotted remote days, provided the meeting cannot be moved to an accessible location.
