The Senate disposed of a set of House bills largely by voice vote and handled a calendar motion to recommit a vetoed Senate bill.
H603, 'an act relating to the poultry slaughter exemption to inspection,' was read for third time and passed by voice vote. H621, 'an act relating to health insurance coverage for diagnostic breast imaging,' came up for third reading; Senator Madison asked for clarification about the effective-date language ('this act shall take effect on January 1, 2026 ... but no event later than January 1, 2027') and the Senate passed the bill by voice vote.
H694 (transcript: 'an act relating to ****** exploitation') and H741 ('an act relating to health insurance coverage for colorectal cancer screening') were likewise read for third reading and passed by voice votes.
Separately, the senator from Chittenden Central moved to recommit S18 (an act relating to banning flavored tobacco products and e-liquids, previously vetoed) to the committee on health and welfare to take it off the calendar; the motion carried by voice vote. The chamber then stood adjourned until Friday, April 12 at 11:30 a.m.
