Senate resolution relating to electronic participation in Senate Sessions
This Senate resolution (SR 19) extends the temporary rule allowing Vermont Senate members to participate in sessions remotely via electronic means. It amends Rule 9B to keep this option active until Tuesday, March 10, 2026. The change directly affects senators who may use video or audio technology to attend sessions without being physically present. This is a procedural adjustment to existing Senate rules, not a policy change affecting the public.
