§ 64. Employment of assistants; Capitol Police; training; uniforms and equipment

(a) The Sergeant at Arms may, subject to the rules of the General Assembly, employ such employees as may be needed to carry out the Sergeant at Arms' duties. These may include assistants, custodians, doorkeepers, guides, messengers, mail and room assignment clerks, security guards, and pages. Compensation for such employees shall be determined by the Joint Rules Committee, except that prior to the beginning of any legislative session, compensation for a person who fills the same temporary position that he or she filled during the preceding session and, in the case of a person newly employed to fill a temporary position, the rate of compensation shall be established initially by the Sergeant at Arms at a rate not to exceed the rate established for the person who held that position during the preceding legislative session. Persons employed under this section shall be paid in the same manner as members of the General Assembly. The Commissioner of Finance and Management shall issue his or her warrant in payment of compensation approved under this section.

(b) 3 V.S.A. chapter 13 shall not apply to employees of the Sergeant at Arms unless this exception is partially or wholly waived by the Joint Rules Committee consistent with the rules of the General Assembly. Any waiver may subsequently be rescinded in whole or in part.

(c) At State expense and with the approval of the Sergeant at Arms, Capitol Police officers shall be provided with training and furnished uniforms and equipment necessary in the performance of their duties, and such items shall remain the property of the State.
