H.49 is a bill introduced by Representatives Harrison and Mrowicki that mandates the Joint Fiscal Office (JFO) to contract for an electronic roll-call system for the Vermont House of Representatives by the beginning of the 2026 legislative session. The bill outlines specific deadlines for the JFO, requiring them to issue a request for proposal (RFP) by June 15, 2025, in consultation with relevant offices, and to enter into a contract with a vendor by August 15, 2025. The RFP will stipulate that the vendor must install the electronic roll-call system before the start of the 2026 session.

Additionally, the bill specifies that the JFO will receive funding from the FY26 Capital Construction Act to facilitate this contract. The act is set to take effect upon passage.
