The Vermont House conducted a sequence of third readings and voice votes during the April 30 floor session.
Bills passed by voice vote: House Bill 902 (charter amendments for the city of Barry), Senate Bill 142 (pathway to licensure for internationally trained physicians), Senate Bill 179 (uniform disclaimer of property interests act), Senate Bill 227 (immigration protocols in Vermont schools), Senate Bill 230 (fair employment practices), and Senate Bill 298 (Vermont Voting Rights Act). The transcript records unanimous "ayes" calls and "the ayes do have it" confirmations, but it does not include roll-call tallies.
Postponement: Member from Middlebury successfully moved to postpone action on Senate Bill 232 (water quality of Vermont's waters) for two legislative days; the House postponed consideration until the next Tuesday.
Ordered for further action: After floor consideration and adoption of Ways and Means amendments, the House amended the Commerce committee report on S.327 and ordered third reading so the Senate can consider the amendments.
Procedural notes: Many outcomes were recorded as voice votes on the floor (phrases captured in the transcript include "the ayes appear to have it" and "the ayes do have it"); the transcript does not provide numerical roll-call vote records for these items.
What's next: The bills passed in concurrence will be returned to the originating chamber or proceed through the statutory process as applicable; S.327 will return to the Senate with the Houses proposed amendments for further consideration.
