Bill H.49 proposes the implementation of an electronic roll-call system for the Vermont House of Representatives, with a requirement for the Joint Fiscal Office (JFO) to issue a request for proposal (RFP) by June 15, 2025. The RFP will be developed in consultation with various legislative offices and must ensure that the selected vendor installs the system by the start of the 2026 legislative session. Additionally, the JFO is mandated to enter into a contract with a vendor by August 15, 2025, based on the bids received from the RFP process.

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