Read first time, treated as a bill, and referred to the Committee on Government Operations and Military Affairs
Summary
The resolution changes House procedure to let bills that adopt, amend, repeal, merge, or dissolve a municipal charter go straight to the calendar for a five‑day notice period and then to the Orders of the Day, without mandatory committee referral. It affects Vermont municipalities and the Committee on Government Operations and Military Affairs by speeding up local‑government legislation and freeing committee time for other work.
