The Senate Resolution S.R. 8, offered by Senator Baruth, addresses the conduct of electronic committee meetings in the Vermont Senate. It seeks to extend the provisions of Permanent Senate Rule 32A, which typically applies only during Declarations of Emergency, to allow for the continued use of electronic meetings beyond the emergency period.

Specifically, the resolution stipulates that the rules governing electronic committee meetings will remain in effect until January 7, 2026. This extension aims to facilitate ongoing flexibility in how committee meetings are conducted, ensuring that members can participate effectively, regardless of circumstances that may limit in-person gatherings.
