The Vermont House of Representatives on the floor approved a motion to reassign House Bill 667 to a different committee.
Member from Coventry moved that the Committee on Commerce and Economic Development be relieved of H.667, "an act relating to commerce and trade, international trade agreements, and Vermont Ireland Trade Commission," and that the bill be committed to the Committee on Government Operations and Military Affairs. The presiding officer put the question and a voice vote was taken; the ayes prevailed and the reassignment was ordered.
The motion and the voice vote were recorded on the floor; no roll-call vote or recorded yeas and nays were provided in the transcript. The reassignment sends H.667 to the new committee for further consideration and any subsequent hearings, amendments, or votes.
Next steps: H.667 will be considered by the Committee on Government Operations and Military Affairs according to its regular committee schedule.
