Senate resolution relating to concurrently conducted electronic committee meetings
This Senate Resolution (SR 18) extends the temporary rule allowing electronic committee meetings beyond the usual emergency period. It directly affects Vermont Senate committees by permitting them to continue holding electronic meetings under Permanent Senate Rule 32A through March 10, 2026. The key provision overrides the standard rule that limits Rule 32A to emergency declarations, making electronic meetings permissible for all committee work during this extended period.
