Vermont Senate Adjourns Session, Pushing Paid Leave & Minimum Wage Efforts To 2020

Summary: On Wednesday evening, the Vermont Senate reconvened in Montpelier to officially adjourn the 2019 legislative session. Senate lawmakers had hoped their House counterparts would join them at the Statehouse Wednesday, to give one last shot at passing the paid leave and minimum wage proposals. House Speaker Mitzi Johnson declined that overture, however, and the two bills will be held over until 2020.
