HR 10 Vermont House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

House resolution amending House Rules relating to bill draft request and approval deadlines in the second year of the biennium

This bill amends Vermont House Rules to establish specific deadlines for drafting and introducing bills during the second year of the biennium. It requires House members to submit standard-form bill requests by December 5th, avoid content changes after January 15th, and approve bills for public release by January 31st. Municipal charter or merger bills have more flexible timing, and committees face deadlines for releasing bills by March 31st (with exceptions for Appropriations and Ways and Means committees). The changes directly affect House members and committees seeking to introduce new legislation, streamlining the drafting process for the second half of the two-year legislative session.
