Senate passes measures on public‑fund investments and retroactive reinstatement of 10 VSA §681(b)

On the Senate floor the presiding Senator called and read S 180 and H 599 for third reading. S 180, an act relating to the investment of state funds in credit unions, was read on third reading and passed by voice vote after the presiding officer called the question.

Shortly after, the Senate read H 599 for third reading. H 599 would retroactively reinstate 10 VSA §681(b). No amendments were offered; the Senate proceeded to a voice vote and the presiding officer announced that H 599 passed.

Both measures were placed on the calendar for their next procedural steps as the Senate moved on to consider H 839 and its appropriations amendment.
