Town Mtg Rpt 2021-03-01 February 23, 2021 This document was prepared by members of the Vermont House Democratic caucus to help the public understand the work in our committees during the first half of the 2021 legislative session.

Early in the session, the House Commi0ee on Agriculture and Forestry heard “what have you been up to?” tes?mony on two programs it helped create and cul?vate: the Working Lands Enterprise Ini?a?ve (WLEI) and the Farm to School program (F2S). Working Lands (which provides grants and consul?ng for rural economic development projects) is such a success that the Governor has proposed adding $3 million in a one-?me appropria?on to next year’s WLEI budget. F2S, which advocates for, and coordinates, geng local food into our schools, is an on-going win-win-win (farmers benefit economically, healthy students are more focused, schools achieve be0er results); the only restric?on on expanding its success is financial, as there are never enough dollars for deserving programs. Ag & Food: Road Map for the Future Eighteen months in the making, with input from over 1,500 Vermonters, the Vermont Agriculture & Food System Strategic Plan 2021-2030 debuted last week with much fanfare and apprecia?on. A collabora?on between the Vermont Sustainable Jobs Fund’s Farm to Plate team (F2P) and the Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Food and Markets (VAAFM), the work provides, as Secretary Tebbe0s summarized, “a road map to the future.” “The Big Book,” all 200 spiral-bound pages of it, is made up of 54 product, market and issue briefs. For the next decade, this go-to resource will be the dog-eared “Ag bible” for policymakers and stakeholders, not to men?on a good read for select boards and planning commissions, and a must-have for town libraries. Let’s just say you want to know what the bo0lenecks in hop produc?on are. It’s there. Or you want to dig into Vermont food opportuni?es in major metropolitan markets. It’s there. Or you want to see what the experts recommend for food security, or farm succession, or racial equity in the Vermont food system. It’s all there. Not to men?on strategic goals, priority strategies, and credits for the 52 lead authors and 111 expert contributors. Available online at: vfarmtoplate.com/plan/ or, if you ask the F2Pers nicely, as a hard copy. Agritourism ProtecDon: Over to the Senate If House Ag is a proponent of regenera?ve agriculture, it’s equally commi0ed to regenera?ve legisla?on. Year a/er year, only about 17% of proposed bills become law. When the two-year legisla?ve cycle concludes—the so-called “biennium”—all bills that have been proposed, but not passed, die. At the start of the next biennium, those bills that didn’t cross the finish line need to be re-introduced, and, if they merit due diligence, the commi0ees go back to work on them. The House just passed H.89, a re-working of last year’s H.794 (which died in the Senate). This bill codifies limi?ng liability for agritourism, similar to the exis?ng statute that insulates, but does not immunize, the equine industry from negligence. Animal Welfare: Taking Another Look Also, last year, House Ag shepherded H. 254, an act rela?ng to adequate shelter for livestock, all the way to the Governor, who signed it, and it became a new Vermont statute, Act 116. The law gives law enforcement and humane officers, in the event of a livestock cruelty inves?ga?on, the power to educate and enforce, essen?ally to tell the overextended farmer or backyard hoarder, “These animals need shelter—either constructed or natural—so they won’t suffer in extreme weather.” This year, House Ag is hearing concern from rota?onal grazing farmers who feel that this 2 regenera?ve agriculture prac?ce--even when their livestock are thriving--could land them in viola?on of the new law. The upshot: House Ag may revisit H.254/Act 116 and give it a tweak. The Commi0ee is also going to resurrect H.940, sister legisla?on to the adequate shelter bill. H. 940 died last year when COVID bills were, understandably, given top priority. This bill will clarify who can be a humane officer: going forward, it can only be a law enforcement officer, a humane society employee, or an animal control officer who has passed the updated training requirements on animal welfare and cruelty. Just because you answer the phone at a humane society or you know that Hamburg is a breed of chicken, doesn’t make you a humane officer. AppropriaDons – Maida Townsend Fiscal Year 2022 Budget (259 words) House Appropria?ons is currently working on the FY2022 budget, which covers the programs of state government and its community partner organiza?ons from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022. The commi0ee is on target to present its proposed budget to the full House in the middle of March. Balancing the extraordinary infusion of federal and state revenues that will not be sustained over ?me while mee?ng the extraordinary need of Vermonters as they endure the pandemic are the principal challenges of developing the budget. In a typical year, there is a structural gap between revenues and expenditures. This year, when we have 10 ?mes the usual number of people living in temporary housing, when we have five ?mes the usual number of unemployed people, when every downtown and rural community has businesses that are struggling on a day-to-day basis, the challenge is making strategic use of non-recurring money that will help Vermont build back be0er. The commi0ee is going deep into the numbers, hearing budget tes?mony from all state-related en??es from all three branches of government. They are looking at performance accountability in new and old ini?a?ves. They have sought input from the public, hearing from 73 Vermonters in oral tes?mony and 29 in wri0en tes?mony. They have sought recommenda?ons from each of the legisla?ve policy commi0ees. The goals? To cra/ a fiscally responsible budget that supports and strengthens Vermont communi?es and families. To protect and li/ up the most vulnerable Vermonters. To move us beyond a maintenance budget only, across all 14 coun?es, and leave no one behind. Federal Support: Dollars Flowing from DC Since the early weeks of the pandemic in 2020, the COVID-related dollars flowing to Vermont from Washington have been substan?al. As of mid-January 2021, the federal infusion equaled approximately 20 percent of our state’s economy. It is es?mated to yet reach as much as 30 percent. As of early December, approximately $5 billion had come to Vermont, much passing directly to agencies and departments for specified COVID relief purposes. Within this amount was the $1.25 billion that became the Coronavirus Relief Fund (CRF), from which the legislature had authority to appropriate dollars to target specific support of Vermonters and their communi?es. Alloca?ons ranged from assistance to dairy and non-dairy farms, working lands, state parks and other public lands to connec?vity, health care stabiliza?on, and child care and adult days; from a variety of economic business sectors, both for-profit and nonprofit, to UVM and the VT State Colleges system; from municipali?es and pre-K-12 school districts to all manner of housing and jus?ce-related en??es. 3 Because use of CRF dollars had to follow strict federal guidance, un?l Washington unexpectedly changed that guidance at the very end of 2020, por?ons of alloca?ons were reverted, reallocated, transferred. The bo0om line is that, as of early February, $6.3 million was back in the CRF. The House Appropria?ons Commi0ee is considering carefully so as to allocate those dollars to the greatest immediate needs. Note that all of this federal help, with even more on the way, is one-?me money. Once we are at the be0er side of the pandemic, Vermont must stand on its own in support of Vermonters coping with residual and on-going economic, emo?onal, and social hardship. Budget Adjustment FY2021 Budget Adjustment typically occurs midway through the fiscal year. It is a recalibra?on, a truing up so as to maintain the state budget in balance. It is fiscal discipline. It is also an opportunity to adjust for the unforeseen. Here is just a sampling: ● There was a massive mix-up regarding 1099 tax forms sent out by the unemployment unit at the Department of Labor. The FY2021 Budget Adjustment Act (BAA) includes language to enable the most solid measure of valida?on of informa?on possible in replacing tax documents sent to unemployment recipients. ● VSNIP is Vermont’s low-cost spay neuter assistance program.

  • 06.17 Open Letter Vertical
    JUNE 2020 We Won’t Go Back: An Open Letter from State and Local Legislators Urging the U.S. Supreme Court to Defend Abortion Access We all deserve the right to make decisions about our families and our bodies, free from coercion or violence. As elected officials in states and localities, we are committed to protecting and advancing these rights. In the past decade, hundreds of restrictions on abortion care have been passed at the state level, and more local governments are restricting abortion in their own towns and counties. The resulting patchwork of laws means that a person’s ability to access your their right to abortion depends on your zip code and the contents of your bank account, with low-income people, people of color, young people, immigrant communities, and rural communities paying the steepest price. As public servants, it’s our job to not only support policies that allow our constituents to survive but policies that allow them thrive. The United States Supreme Court’s forthcoming decision in June Medical Services v. Russo, which concerns medically unnecessary regulations on abortion providers, is an opportunity for the Court to uphold precedent and ensure Louisiana does not devastate peoples’ ability to get safe, legal abortion care in their communities. Anything less—allowing the Fifth Circuit and Louisiana to disregard the Court’s precedent —would open the door for states to regulate abortion out of existence for millions of families. Abortion isn’t a right if you can’t access it. The avalanche of recent state abortion restrictions, passed despite the highest levels of public support for abortion rights in decades, distorts our democracy.

  • An Open Letter from the Reproductive Freedom Leadership Council on 2018 State Abortion Bans April 3, 2018
    An Open Letter from the Reproductive Freedom Leadership Council on 2018 State Abortion Bans April 3, 2018 So far in 2018, at least 39 bills to ban abortion at different points in pregnancy, or even altogether, have been introduced in at least 19 states1. These bills – several of which are advancing – are intended to be a direct challenge to a woman’s right to decide when or if to end a pregnancy as established in the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade decision. As state legislators, we’re calling on our fellow legislators, governors, and the courts to stop these abortion bans, protect women’s health, and respect their personal decision-making. As state legislators and members of the Reproductive Freedom Leadership Council, we envision a nation in which each of us can make our own decisions about our reproductive health, pregnancy, and parenting, free from political interference. We view this as intrinsically woven into the broader fabric of gender and racial equity and economic justice. Today, our country falls far short of that vision. In 2018, too many of our colleagues continue to use the privilege of public service to pass new laws limiting their own constituents’ reproductive health and rights. Outrageously, more than 400 abortion restrictions have been enacted at the state level since 2011, often making it harder for a person to get the healthcare procedure she has decided she needs, or even pushing it out of reach altogether. Today, opponents of women’s health are emboldened by extremists in power in Washington and the potential for a new U.S.

  • S.122: Letter from Rep. Briglin and Others
    115 STATE STREET PHONE: (802) 828-2228 MONTPELIER, VT 05633-5201 FAX: (802) 828-2424 STATE OF VERMONT HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES April 12, 2017 House Committee on Education Vermont State House, Room 32 115 State Street Montpelier, VT 05633-5301 Via email to: Marjorie Zunder, [email protected] RE: suggested additions to S.122 Dear Chairman Sharpe and Committee Members: Thank you for continuing to take testimony and consider revisions to S.122. While the House Education Committee has decided to set aside H.15, we believe that specific components of that bill will enhance compliance with Act 46 for many communities around the state, including some of the towns that we represent. There are three specific components embedded in H.15 that we request the House Education Committee include in your revisions to S.122: • Sec. 8(c) of H.15 which states: "The State Board may adopt rules designed to implement this act [Act 461 but shall not by rule or otherwise impose additional requirements to those envisioned by this act." This section addresses the rulemaking that the State Board of Education began to pursue in 2016 that would have raised the bar on the requirements for approval of an Alternative Structure. • Sec. 1(c)(6) of H.15 which states: "The combined average daily membership, as defined in 16 V.S.A. § 4001(1), of all member districts is not less than 500." This section would allow groups of small districts that otherwise would not be able to meet the numerical requirements of Act 46 to combine using an Alternative Structure.

  • June 1, 2018 Open Letter from the Reproductive Freedom Leadership Council Regarding President Trump's Decision to Limit Title
    June 1, 2018 Open Letter from the Reproductive Freedom Leadership Council Regarding President Trump’s Decision to Limit Title X Family Planning Funding As members of the Reproductive Freedom Leadership Council (RFLC), a cohort of 274 state legislators representing 43 states, we oppose the latest effort from the Trump administration to roll back reproductive rights and harm women’s health. President Trump’s proposed rule to block access to health care under Title X, our nation’s birth control and reproductive health program, and deny women information about their full reproductive health care options is unacceptable, and we stand united in opposition to this decision. President Trump’s gag rule would block health care providers from receiving federal Title X funding if they provide abortion care or offer referrals to other providers of abortion services. We’ve borne witness to the harmful impacts of the over 400 restrictions on abortion that have passed in states since 2011, and know that creating additional barriers for patients seeking access to birth control and other services from their trusted reproductive health care providers does us all a grave disservice. We see this gag rule for what it is: a clear attempt to take away our rights, make both abortion care and birth control harder to access, and drive yet another wedge between health care providers and their patients – all to pay back a political promise President Trump made to the anti-abortion lobby. We believe it is our duty as elected officials to make it easier, not harder, for people to get the health care they need, including birth control, cancer screenings, STD testing and treatment, and general women’s health exams.

In our role as Vermont State Senators and Representatives of many Windham County towns, we want the following points to be part of the public record. We do not support SAFSTOR. Costs will only go up and contamination will spread by waiting up to 60 years as is currently allowed by the NRC. Our community is a special case that will not benefit from a cookie cutter approach. We are only the second merchant reactor to decommission. Moreover, Entergy is located on the second smallest land area of any US nuclear plant. It also is located in the middle of a town and has an elementary school located across from the gate to the plant. All of these factors contribute to making Entergy an unsuitable site for SAFSTOR.

Subscribe Share Past Issues Translate EAI Issue Brief, Sugar Sweetened Beverage Tax February, 2013 Sugar-Sweetened Beverage Tax Legislation: H.234 - An act relating to the imposition of an excise tax on sugar-sweetened beverages. This bill would put a $0.01 per ounce excise tax on sugar-sweetened beverages, including soda, sports drinks, ready to drink teas, flavored water, and energy drinks, and the powders and syrups used to make them. A 12 oz. soda will be taxed 12 cents. A 20 oz. soda will be taxed 20 cents, etc. The tax will be imposed on the distributor, and is estimated to cost taxpayers $27 million a year. Analysis: Supporters of this bill argue that the increasing incidence of obesity and the illnesses associated with it justify this tax. The logic, the mechanism and the morality of this are all flawed. This tax, as well as the growing trend in “sin taxes,” has more to do with growing government than shrinking waistlines. A recent study, “SIN TAXES: Size, Growth, and Creation of the Sindustry,” by the Mercatus Center at George Mason University, revealed a number of important findings: Bait & Switch: The money raised by sin taxes is overwhelmingly NOT used to combat the problem for which it was supposedly raised.
