House introduces four bills on livestock, retirement age for officers, and cannabis licensing

Clerk and members introduced four bills on first reading and referred them to standing committees.

House Bill 481 was introduced by Representative DeMar of Ingisburg and described as an act relating to the running of livestock at large. The reader recited 'H 831, an act relating to the running of livestock at large,' and the measure was referred to the Committee on Agriculture, Food Resiliency, and Forestry as recorded in the House proceedings.

House Bill 832 (introduced by Representative Roberts of Halifax) was described as an act to repeal the mandatory retirement age for certain law enforcement officers; 'H 832' was read and referred to the Committee on Government Operations and Military Affairs.

House Bill 833 (introduced by Representative Birong of Vergennes) was described as an act to cap the number of cannabis establishment licenses issued by the Cannabis Control Board; 'H 833' was read and referred to the Committee on Government Operations and Military Affairs.

House Bill 834 (introduced by Representative Byron, recorded as 'of Virgen's') was described as an act relating to cannabis special events licenses; 'H 834' was read and referred to the Committee on Government Operations and Military Affairs.

The transcript contains a mismatch in the bill numbers/readings (for example, the record names House Bill 481 but the read text is 'H 831'); that inconsistency appears in the House record and is noted here rather than corrected or harmonized without an authoritative source.

No committee testimony, fiscal notes, bill texts, or debate on these measures appear on the floor during this portion of the session in the transcript.
