Senate resolution relating to adoption of a temporary Rule 44A
This Senate resolution (SR 20) establishes a temporary procedural rule (Rule 44A) for the Vermont Senate. It requires bills that miss the March 13 and March 20, 2026 crossover deadlines to be referred to the Committee on Rules, unless they are one of five exempted bills: the transportation capital bill, capital construction bill, general appropriations bill ("The Big Bill"), fee bill, or tax/revenue bills. The rule expires when the Legislature adjourns sine die. As a procedural measure, it affects Senate committee referrals but does not change substantive policy.
