Purpose

This joint resolution directs that elections be held to fill two categories of positions: (1) a Sergeant at Arms and (2) three trustees of the University of Vermont and State Agricultural College. The resolution sets the legislative authorization for those elections to occur and was adopted by both chambers.

Key provisions (based on available information)

  • Provides for the holding of an election to choose a Sergeant at Arms.
  • Provides for the holding of elections to choose three trustees for the University of Vermont and State Agricultural College.
  • As a joint resolution, it represents a formal legislative action by both the Senate and House to authorize or record these specific elections.

Note: The full text of the resolution is not included with the document supplied, so specific procedural details (timing, voting method, terms, nominee eligibility, or whether vacancies are being filled) are not available in this summary.

Who is affected

  • The Sergeant at Arms position (typically a legislative officer responsible for maintaining order and security within the legislative chamber) — candidates for that office and legislative operations.
  • The governance of the University of Vermont and State Agricultural College — the three trustee positions affect the university’s board composition, oversight, and long‑term policy direction.
  • Legislators and any nominating bodies involved in conducting the elections.

Potential impact and considerations

  • Fills key positions that affect legislative functioning (Sergeant at Arms) and higher‑education governance (UVM trustees).
  • Likely administrative or procedural effects on the scheduling and conduct of the elections; no specific fiscal impacts are indicated in the available record.
  • Additional detail (e.g., terms, whether these are regular elections or to fill vacancies, and eligibility standards) would require review of the resolution’s full text or associated legislative reports.
