\"These organizations provide critical wraparound services that offer hope, promote wellness, and provide the motivation to overcome addiction,\" Representative Kumulkin said on the House floor, noting that 14 recovery centers are active statewide. Kumulkin said increased funding in the prior year’s budget brought 34 new recovery home beds online and that plans exist to expand seven additional beds into other areas.

Kumulkin urged colleagues to welcome the recovery workers and volunteers seated in the gallery and said prevention reduces relapses and lowers long-term treatment costs. The speaker asked members and guests from Wolcott to stand and be recognized.

The remarks were delivered during the member announcements portion of the House session; no floor action followed the recognition.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","House Session: 2025-01-14-10:00 a.m.","oneSentenceSummary","A House member recognized 14 Vermont recovery centers and said recent state budget increases added 34 new recovery home beds with plans for seven more; the House welcomed center staff seated in the gallery.","taxTitle","HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, Committees, Legislative , Vermont","taxId",29454,"location","Vermont","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6391772,"House announces panel and joint committee appointments under Rule 90",45,445000,490000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2111162-5521efdaf4f10a820ab100c668103d11&start=445&end=490","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2111162-5521efdaf4f10a820ab100c668103d11/thumbnail_445000.jpg","/articles/6391772/Vermont/House-announces-panel-and-joint-committee-appointments-under-Rule-90","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6391772-0cfa2d3162f286cc03b2c733479591c9/orig.mp4?Expires=1770448094&Signature=FyMZCEJPvb4s7eW88Qj0Y7SGMYAe4ie-6rCY6HkG84Bd2zDqxxECxnOVsORlvRhTc6Nccv89NtO3Z11oMMArkHOs7lTb~jRQv5OgCcoGFQgEf7S74obpY4KL-wggvdm9HWTD2EGgrfYFNN59vYh7RufcApgaQ1Pp2SbwQ5f2OjOuZ1iYpElGDb2mOKcDewMjOoY7OT~HfTaW-c1M47ZuL7~00YamEDwYdFxHj93DEVvNaemUad8ORF~Qi2FbBwIHov46a-9ee86wqD00PHvyFwkVEh4ebarmqydS4fcfvHZZD3s3S7olgdun0~DRqmgMsjI1LMHwdmMAfbNEeUmmzQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The speaker of the Vermont House of Representatives announced a slate of appointments to internal panels and joint committees on Jan. 14, 2025, citing House Rule 90.

Pursuant to the rule, the House Rules Committee reported appointments to three House panels: the House Discrimination Prevention Panel, the House Ethics Panel and the House Harassment Prevention Panel. The speaker read the names of members selected for each panel.

Appointments to the House Discrimination Prevention Panel included Representative Rebecca of Winooski, Representative Burrows of West Windsor, Representative Donahue of Northfield, Representative Delfetti of Barletown, and Representative McFawn of Barletown.

The House Ethics Panel appointments were announced as Representative Sheena of Burlington, Representative Malone of South Burlington, Representative Michael Morgan of Milton, Representative Odie of Burlington, and Representative Taylor of Milton.

The speaker noted that harassment-prevention training for the House will be held in the chamber immediately following adjournment. Many appointments were reported as actions of the House Rules Committee rather than votes on the floor.","The House speaker announced committee appointments made pursuant to House Rule 90, assigning members to the Discrimination Prevention Panel, Ethics Panel, Harassment Prevention Panel, Joint Fiscal Committee, Joint Legislative Management Committee and Green Mountain Care Board Nominating Committee.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6391777,"House reads four bills for first time; each referred to committee",24,303000,327000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2111162-5521efdaf4f10a820ab100c668103d11&start=303&end=327","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2111162-5521efdaf4f10a820ab100c668103d11/thumbnail_303000.jpg","/articles/6391777/Vermont/House-reads-four-bills-for-first-time-each-referred-to-committee","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6391777-400fc425c7972b81f5df9bd05899281c/orig.mp4?Expires=1770448094&Signature=ZzbPgF16y-29yEUdlSRw3G1ItKpdVwaJvGxmzUF8594iUlDrPVqkwYn6yEBAMalbRCkXoj9Aq2xVqqJGX5fEluguzWaaDnBlJbHGJg2YrOpKx01o1w8ghRE8rTwmnv69fXSg1k5YRPsFfOwy1wSPZFWjxzsFyIc5vxG0vVW4NEa-rhlTA~CCLFFOyyiztwSU-WEN-3XPkGQvV8xEG0xpsiP6zoSWYKogNkBEntJG7MA1v6BsaDENfL4HNLCQwf39BjTD-uYCQMJbHggMns0pUDaoQi2122EDx5vAaIkVfCxG5M3jOyXaTHHtps~8-LfAZi4YIr68BYGqc9xK5t1vEQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Vermont House of Representatives read four bills for the first time on Jan. 14, 2025, and referred each to a standing committee for consideration.

The measures ranged from changing statutory language to rules for treatment in state custody and claims-processing standards. The speaker announced the bills and their committee referrals following the chamber's opening remarks.

Representative Rebecca of Winooski introduced House Bill 29, \"an act relating to replacing statutory references to Vermont psychiatric survivors with Mad Freedom Incorporated.\" The bill was read the first time and referred to the Committee on Health Care.

Representative Bloomley of Burlington introduced House Bill 30, \"an act relating to the use of seclusion and restraint on children and youth in the custody of the Department for Children and Families.\" That bill was read the first time and referred to the Committee on Human Services.

Representative Black of Essex introduced House Bill 31, \"an act relating to claim edit standards and prior authorization requirements.\" The bill was read the first time and referred to the Committee on Health Care.

Representative Hedrick of Burlington introduced House Bill 32, \"an act relating to treatment for opioid use disorder in correctional facilities.\" The bill was read the first time and referred to the Committee on Corrections and Institutions.

None of the four measures received debate or a floor vote at the reading. Each bill will proceed through the standard committee process before any further action on the House floor.","The Vermont House gave first readings to four bills on topics including replacing statutory references for a survivor group, use of seclusion and restraint for youth in state custody, claim-edit standards and prior authorization, and opioid use disorder treatment in correctional facilities; each bill was referred to a standing committee.","actionData","errors"]
