A fenestration operation hardware assembly includes latch mechanisms configured for coupling to respective top and bottom sashes, and a paddle member configured for coupling the latch mechanisms. The latch mechanisms include movable latch bolts, and at least one of the latch mechanisms includes an operator interface feature movable between at least initial and operating positions. In an initial position, the latch bolts are in respective projected positions, and the top and bottom panels are immobilized. In a first withdrawn position, at least one of the top and bottom panels is movable, and in a second withdrawn position, at least one of the top and bottom panels is tiltable. In an example, a top latch bolt is moved by the paddle member according to movement of the bottom latch bolt.

The assembly of claim 1, wherein the jamb paddle is configured to transmit a force from the latch cam to the latch follower according to movement of the bottom latch bolt from the second position toward the first position, the latch follower biases the top latch bolt toward the first position according to the transmitted force. 3. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the bottom latch bolt is movable between the first position, the second position, and an intermediate third position, and the bottom sash is movable relative to a plane of the frame when the bottom latch bolt is in either of the first or intermediate third positions. 4. The assembly of claim 3, wherein in the first position, the bottom sash is tiltable away from the plane of the frame. 5. The assembly of claim 3, wherein the latch cam is received in a recess of the bottom latch bolt and the latch cam precludes the bottom latch bolt from occupying the first position when the bottom sash is in a closed configuration. 6. The assembly of claim 5, wherein the bottom latch bolt disengages from the latch cam when the bottom sash translates away from the closed configuration by a predetermined amount. 7. The assembly of claim 3, wherein the bottom latch bolt in the third position biases the latch follower and the latch cam in the direction of the sashes. 8. The assembly of claim 1, comprising an operator remote from the first and second latch mechanisms, the operator engaged with at least one of the first and second latch mechanisms by a tying element, and the operator includes a movable operator interface feature configured to move the at least one of the first and second latch mechanisms. 9. The assembly of claim 1, comprising an operator remote from the first and second latch mechanisms, the operator engaged with the jamb paddle by a tying element, and the operator including a movable operator interface feature configured to rotate the jamb paddle about the pivot to toggle at least one of the first and second latch mechanisms between the respective first and second positions of the mechanism. 10. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the bottom and top latch bolts are biased toward their respective second positions. 11. A fenestration operation hardware assembly comprising: a jamb receiver block configured for reception within a frame; anda jamb paddle assembly, movingly coupled with the jamb receiver block or the frame, the jamb paddle assembly comprising: a latch cam including a deflectable arm, the latch cam configured to engage with a first latch bolt, wherein the deflectable arm deflects around a front portion of the first latch bolt,a latch follower configured to engage with a second latch bolt, anda pivot member coupling the latch follower and the latch cam, wherein movement of the first latch bolt is transmitted to the second latch bolt through the jamb paddle assembly; and wherein the first latch bolt is coupled with a bottom sash and configured to slide together with the bottom sash in the frame; and the second latch bolt is coupled with a top sash and configured to slide together with the top sash in the frame. 12. The assembly of claim 11, wherein the jamb paddle assembly is rotatably coupled with the jamb receiver block or the frame, and the jamb paddle is rotatable about the pivot member. 13. The assembly of claim 11, wherein the deflectable arm includes a projection configured to engage with a detent in the first latch bolt. 14. The assembly of claim 11, wherein rotation of the jamb paddle assembly about the pivot member translates movement in a first direction of one of the first and second latch bolts to the other of the first and second latch bolts in a second direction substantially parallel to the first direction. 15. The assembly of claim 11, wherein the latch cam and latch follower extend radially away from the pivot member in different directions. 16. The assembly of claim 11, wherein in a first configuration, the latch follower is biased by the second latch bolt away from a sash associated with the second latch bolt, and in a second configuration, the latch follower is biased by the latch cam toward the sash associated with the second latch bolt. 17. The assembly of claim 11, comprising an operator remote from both the jamb receiver block and the jamb paddle assembly, the operator engaged with the first latch bolt by a tying element, and the operator includes a movable operator interface feature configured to rotate the jamb paddle assembly about the pivot member to move at least one of the first and second latch bolts. 18. A method for using a fenestration operation hardware assembly comprising: withdrawing a bottom latch bolt coupled to a bottom sash from a second position to a first position according to actuation of an operator interface feature, in the first position the bottom sash is movable within a frame, withdrawing the bottom latch bolt including moving a latch cam of a jamb paddle assembly with the bottom latch bolt, the latch cam coupled with a pivot member of the jamb paddle assembly; andtransmitting movement of the latch cam to a top latch bolt with a latch follower of the jamb paddle assembly, the top latch bolt coupled to a top sash and the top latch bolt configured to slide together with the top sash within the frame, and the latch follower coupled with the pivot member of the jamb paddle assembly;wherein the transmitting the movement of the latch cam to the top latch bolt with the latch follower includes moving the top latch bolt between a first position wherein the top sash is movable relative to the frame, and a second position wherein the top sash is immobile. 19. The method of claim 18, wherein in response to the transmitted portion of the movement of the latch cam to the top latch bolt, the top latch bolt is biased toward a withdrawn position to permit translation of the top sash relative to the frame. 20.
