Senate postpones action on H158 override to Jan. 23

Senator from Chittenden Central moved that the Senate postpone action on H158, described on the floor as an "override the governor's veto of the auto bill," to a date certain: Tuesday, Jan. 23, 2024. "I will, at this time, move that the senate postpone action on h158, override the governor's veto of the auto bill to a date certain, January 23rd, Tuesday, 2024," the senator said.

The presiding officer asked if the body was ready for the question and called for a voice vote. Senators answered "I/aye," and the presiding officer announced, "the ayes have it," confirming that action on H158 is postponed to Jan. 23.

The record on the floor identifies the item only as H158 and refers to it as an override of the governor's veto of the "auto bill." No further debate about the substance of H158 or its provisions appears in the provided transcript. The postponement sets the next scheduled Senate consideration for a date certain; the transcript does not specify whether additional hearings, amendments, or committee action will precede that date.

The presiding officer and senators did not provide bill text, fiscal details, or sponsors for H158 in the segments covering the motion and vote. Those details are not specified in the transcript.
