HR 5 Vermont House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

House resolution authorizing limited remote committee voting through the remainder of calendar year 2025

This Vermont House resolution (HR 5) allows members of House committees to vote remotely for up to three days during 2025. It requires members to notify the committee chair and clerk before voting remotely, and the clerk must track each remote vote and the member’s total remote voting days. The rule applies only to committee voting, not full House sessions, and ensures remote votes count toward quorum. This procedural change directly affects House committee members by providing limited flexibility for remote participation.
