The House took a batch of committee and calendar actions during its floor session.
Passed by voice vote: H.753, an act relating to utility service disconnections and ratepayer protections, passed on third reading by voice vote.
Committee reports and third‑reading orders: The House advanced or ordered third reading for several committee bills, including H.549 (non‑driver identification and replacement licenses for people leaving correctional facilities), H.588 (Office of Professional Regulation housekeeping), H.674 (Vermont Sister State program), H.841 (animal welfare omnibus, as amended), and others described on the calendar. Ways & Means and Appropriations reported minimal fiscal impacts for several items; some measures carry small revenue or expenditure changes noted in committee fiscal reports.
Recommitment: The House voted to recommit H.205 (agreements not to compete) to the Committee on Commerce & Economic Development for further work and negotiation.
Adjournment: The House adjourned the day and scheduled reconvening for Tuesday, 03/17/2026 at 10 a.m.
Why it matters: The package demonstrates the chamber moving several committee priorities forward while pausing complex labor policy (H.205) for additional study.
