The Institutions Committee is a standing committee of the Vermont State Senate.

Per the Senate Rules, committees of the Vermont State Senate are assigned by the Committee on Committees at the start of each biennial session.[1] The Committee on Committees is made up of the Senate President, the President Pro Tempore, and one senator elected by the Senate. The Senate reserves the right to overrule any appointment and immediately fill the vacancy.[2] The first and secondly named members of each committee serve as chair and vice-chair, respectively.[3] The chair of each committee is responsible for scheduling committee meetings, and the clerk keeps a record of attendance to be delivered to the Secretary of State at the end of each session.[4][5]
