Vermont State Legislature

The Vermont State Legislature is the lawmaking body of Vermont, responsible for creating and passing laws that govern the state. It consists of two chambers: the House of Representatives, with 150 members, and the Senate, with 30 members. Legislators propose bills, debate their merits, and vote to approve or reject them. The legislature also establishes budgets, sets policies, and oversees state agencies. Legislators are elected by Vermont residents and work to represent their interests. The Vermont General Assembly meets annually to consider issues affecting the state's residents and ensure laws reflect the community’s needs.
