Summary

Committee voted to advance S.131 (draft 4.1). Roll call recorded several yea and nay votes and committee listed the measure for further action this week.

The Senate Committee on Government Operations on April 18 voted to advance draft 4.1 of S.131 to the next stage.

Sponsor Senator Bridal Baruth thanked the chair and committee for taking up the bill and noted that an earlier Burlington vote on a related charter had strong local support; he read an emailed endorsement from Burlington Mayor Emma Mulvaney Sanic praising respectful treatment in the committee.

After a brief opportunity for amendments the committee moved to a roll‑call on draft 4.1. The clerk recorded these named votes: Senator Clarkson — yes; Senator Husky — yes; Senator Lloyd — yes; Senator Palmer — no; Senator Hart — no. The committee chair announced, "So the bill advances by a 3 3 2," and scheduled the bill for additional consideration this week.

The committee did not record a named mover or seconder in the transcript excerpt; the clerk called the roll and the chair confirmed the measure will be on the next calendar.
