HR 6 Vermont House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

House resolution updating House Rules

This bill updates the House Rules of the Vermont House of Representatives to modernize procedures for handling legislation and managing the chamber. Key changes include clarifying how bills are formatted and printed, adjusting timelines for when bills move between committee and floor consideration, and specifying when short-form bills must be converted to standard form. The resolution also restricts photography and phone use on the House floor, limits who may enter the chamber during sessions, and outlines how joint resolutions are processed differently from regular bills. These procedural adjustments apply to all members of the House and staff involved in legislative operations.
