The Joint House Resolution from the State of Vermont authorizes limited remote voting for members of joint committees through the end of 2026. Each member is permitted to vote remotely for up to three days, provided they notify the committee chair or co-chairs and the committee clerk. Votes cast remotely will be recorded as such and will count towards the committee quorum. The committee clerk is responsible for tracking the number of remote voting days utilized by each member.
Additionally, the resolution addresses accessibility for members with disabilities. If a member is physically present at a joint committee meeting but cannot access the meeting room due to physical barriers, they are allowed to vote remotely without using one of their designated remote voting days. This provision ensures that all members, regardless of physical condition, can participate in the voting process when in-person access is not feasible.
