SR 3: Senate resolution relating to electronic participation in Senate Sessions

This Senate resolution establishes a temporary rule allowing Vermont Senators to participate in Senate sessions electronically under specific emergency circumstances. The provision permits remote participation when a Senator has tested positive for or is awaiting test results for COVID-19, is caring for a household member with COVID-19, or faces a temporary health or care emergency. The rule limits electronic participation to two consecutive days for general emergencies unless the Rules Committee approves a longer duration, and it remains in effect through March 3, 2023.

SR 2: Senate resolution relating to concurrently conducted electronic committee meetings

This Senate resolution extends the applicability of Senate Rule 32A, which governs committee meetings, to include concurrently conducted electronic meetings. The measure overrides a previous limitation that restricted Rule 32A to only emergency situations, allowing these electronic meeting procedures to remain in effect until March 3, 2023. This change directly affects Senate committees by permitting them to hold simultaneous electronic sessions under the established rules. The resolution was adopted by the Senate on January 4, 2023, and does not alter substantive policy but rather clarifies procedural guidelines for committee operations.
