- 125 - The Committee recommends that the Senate propose to the House to amend the bill by striking all after the enacting clause and inserting in lieu thereof the following: Sec. 1. LEGISLATIVE INTENT In subsection (b) of the rule regarding arrest without a warrant for a misdemeanor committed in an officer’s presence, the phrase “while the crime is being committed or without unreasonable delay” has not yet been interpreted by Vermont courts. How long a delay is deemed to be reasonable where a person has committed or is committing a misdemeanor in the presence of an officer will necessarily depend on particular factual circumstances. As one author has noted, at common law, the failure to take prompt action was conclusive evidence that there was no necessity to take the offender into custody. FISHER LAW OF ARREST § 87, at 189; William A. Schroeder, Warrantless Misdemeanor Arrests and the Fourth Amendment, 58 Mo. L. Rev. 771, 851 (1993). On the other hand, where the delay is caused by “fresh pursuit” of the offender, that traditional doctrine clearly meets the test of “without unreasonable delay.” See FISHER, supra , at 182. Schroeder would require “exigent circumstances” to justify warrantless arrests for misdemeanors committed outside the arresting officer’s presence. Schroeder, supra , 851, 853. The passage of time compelled by “exigent circumstances,” as fresh pursuit, that are integrally related to the course of events beginning with the officer’s observation of the misdemeanor and leading to the moment of apprehension, constitutes reasonable delay. No specific limits in seconds or minutes is intended by the phrase “without unreasonable delay,” but it is equally clear that arrest must follow promptly after it is feasible under the facts and circumstances of a particular case. Sec. 2. Rule 3 of the Vermont Rules of Criminal Procedure is amended to read: RULE 3. ARREST WITHOUT A WARRANT; CITATION TO APPEAR (a) Arrest Without a Warrant for a Felony Offense. A law enforcement officer may arrest without warrant a person whom the officer has probable cause to believe has committed or is committing a crime in the presence of the officer. Such an arrest shall be made while the crime is being committed or without unreasonable delay thereafter. An officer may also arrest a person without warrant in the following situations: felony. (1) when the officer has probable cause to believe a person has committed or is committing a felony; (2) when the officer has probable cause to believe:

An arrest under this subdivision shall be made without unreasonable delay after the alleged offense was committed, and not thereafter.

An act relating to executive branch fees. NOTICE CALENDAR Favorable with Recommendation of Amendment H. 8. An act relating to exempting from the sign law certain agriculture-related signs. Reported favorably with recommendation of proposal of amendment by Senator Kittell for the Committee on Agriculture. The Committee recommends that the Senate propose to the House to amend the bill by striking out all after the enacting clause and inserting in lieu thereof the following: Sec. 1. FINDINGS (a) The legislature finds the vast majority of Vermont farmers who raise seasonal cash crops depend upon local traffic as the primary sales outlet for that crop. In many cases, the crops are highly perishable, and require immediate harvesting and sale. It is essential the consumer be alerted to the crop’s availability and the location of the farm. With little exception, signage is the only affordable approach the average farmer has to market these seasonal crops. (b) The legislature further finds, today, the agricultural community has a limited exemption under Vermont’s sign law. This exemption, however, does not directly address the issue of directing the public to farm stands, nor does it provide a legal way for a farmer to market his or her crop along the roadside. In fact, the existing signage system encourages the farmer to post signs in the highway right-of-way, which can create unsightly and potentially hazardous conditions. There must be a legitimate means by which a farmer can safely, effectively, attractively and affordably provide timely notification of crop availability and the necessary trail-blazing to the farm for the customer, not as a means for advertising, but rather for notification and way - finding. Sec. 2. MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING A signed memorandum of understanding between the Department of Agriculture, Food and Markets, the Department of Marketing and Tourism and the Agency of Transportation regarding a legitimate means of signage for - 158 - farmers shall be put into effect and the cosigners shall report to the General Assembly on the impact of their cooperation on or before January 1, 2003. Sec. 3. REPEAL 6 V.S.A. § 181 (organic label design and organic farm advisory board) is repealed. Sec. 4. 6 V.S.A. § 1151(14) is amended to read: (14) “Reportable disease” means any disease determined by the commissioner, by rule, to be a reportable disease or contained in the following list: * * * Listeriosis Paratuberculosis (Johne’s disease), positive organism detection Piroplasmosis * * * Malignant Catarrhal Fever Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies Sec. 5. 6 V.S.A. § 1157 is amended to read: § 1157. QUARANTINE (a) The commissioner may order any domestic animals, the premises upon which they are or have been located, any animal products derived from those domestic animals, and any equipment, materials or products to which they have been exposed to be placed in quarantine if the animals: * * * (c) A quarantine order shall be effective immediately. Notice of quarantine shall be delivered by certified mail, registered mail or in person to the owner of the animals or to the person in possession or if the owner or person in possession is unknown, by publication in a newspaper of general circulation in the area. The notice shall include: * * * (3) the duration of the quarantine, or what condition must be met to lift the quarantine , including conditions for the repopulation of the premises and disinfection of equipment, materials and products; * * *
