House passes bill to designate Juneteenth as a legal holiday
The Vermont House of Representatives passed S 206, an act designating Juneteenth as a legal holiday, by voice vote during its morning session May 7, 2024. Immediately after passage, a member moved and the House approved suspending the rules to message the action to the Senate.

The bill was read for third reading and put to the body with the question, 'Shall the bill pass in concurrence?' Members responded by voice vote and the Speaker declared the ayes to have it. After passage, the Member from Hulte moved to suspend the rules to message the House's action on S 206 to the Senate forthwith; that motion also carried by voice vote.

The action completes the House's concurrence step; the House’s message to the Senate was ordered following the successful motions. No roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript; the record shows voice votes only.

The House then moved on to other scheduled business, including taking up conference reports and other bills for immediate consideration.
