HR 4 Vermont House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

House resolution relating to standing committees

HR 4 is a procedural bill that amends the Vermont House of Representatives' rules to redefine the structure and responsibilities of standing committees. It specifies new committee names (like "Agriculture, Food Resiliency, and Forestry"), membership sizes, and policy areas for 12 committees, including creating a dedicated "Environment" committee. The bill reassigns specific topics, such as climate change mitigation and water quality, to the Corrections and Institutions committee, while clarifying duties for others like Health Care and Transportation. This reorganization directly affects how legislative work is organized within the House.
