Bill H.49, introduced by Representatives Harrison and Mrowicki, mandates the Joint Fiscal Office (JFO) to contract for an electronic roll-call system for the Vermont House of Representatives by the start of the 2026 legislative session. The bill outlines a timeline for the implementation process, requiring the JFO to issue a request for proposal (RFP) by June 15, 2025, in consultation with relevant offices. The selected vendor must install the system by the beginning of the 2026 session, with a contract to be finalized by August 15, 2025, based on the bids received.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that the JFO will receive funding from the FY26 Capital Construction Act to support the contract for the electronic roll-call system. The act is set to take effect upon passage.
