The Senate Resolution S.R. 18, introduced 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 March 10, 2026. This extension aims to facilitate ongoing participation and accessibility in the legislative process, ensuring that committee meetings can be conducted electronically even outside of emergency situations.
