  • Legislative Update for March 9, 2019
    Supporting Vermonters to lead healthy and satisfying lives community by community Legislative Update for March 9, 2019 The Legislature is on Town Meeting Day Break for one week. When it returns on March 12th there will be a flurry of activity to pass bills out of committees of jurisdiction by the March 15th crossover deadline. This deadline does not apply to bills authored by full committees or the money bills. The House Appropriations Committee is aiming to complete their budget proposal by March 19th. Early Stage Appropriations Advocacy is Successful Thanks to great advocacy efforts by advocates and agencies from around the state the Vermont Care Partners provider network made a good showing in the recommendations of the two key house policy committees in their FY2020 budget memos to the House Appropriations Committee. In fact, the House Health Care Committee made increased funding to improve designated and specialized service agency (DA/SSA) workforce compensation their number one funding priority. While the House Health Care Committee requested a 4% increase for DA/SSAs, the House Human Services Committee requested a 2% increase. Now the House Appropriations Committee will weigh those memos and the other advocacy they have received from: the public hearings; our advocacy days for disabilities and mental health; and individual outreach. While Representative Hooper is responsible for the DMH budget and Representative Lanpher is responsible for the DAIL budget, the full committee votes on priorities as a committee. In addition to improved funding for workforce, the House Health Care Committee put in a plug for electronic health records (EHR) systems one-time investment and for the workforce development proposal for the Tobacco Settlement funds from Vermont Care Partners which calls for a 3-year commitment to work at a DA/SSA to receive tuition assistance or loan repayment.

  • 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.

Helen Head, Chair, Committee on General, Housing and Military Affairs Date: April 19, 2017 Subject: Review of S.135 On behalf of the House Committee on General, Housing and Military Affairs, thank you for the opportunity to review and provide recommendations on S.135, An act relating to promoting economic development. The Committee took testimony and considered those provisions of the bill that fall under its jurisdiction, specifically, Sec. F.1 and the “H” sections relating to housing. The Committee respectfully reports that it supports the bill, subject to the following: 1. Sec. F.1: The Committee finds that Sec. F.1, regarding a legislative study on the Vermont minimum wage, is unnecessary and recommends that it be struck from the bill. As you are aware, the General Assembly anticipates a report from Tom Kavet this month concerning the minimum wage that will address many of the issues raised by Sec. F.1. Furthermore, the House has received extensive testimony on this issue and has built a substantial record to serve as the foundation for future action.

  • 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.

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.

  • 2011 – 2012 Scorecard
    2011-2012 LEGISLATIVE BIENNIUM VERMONT Environmental Scorecard KNOW THE SCORE he Vermont League of Conservation Voters is a T nonpartisan political organization working to turn your environmental values into state priorities. We seek to make environmental conservation a top priority for candidates, elected officials and voters HOW THE VOTES WERE SELECTED T his scorecard is based on the legislative priorities of the environmental and conservation organizations that form the Vermont Environmental Collaborative, as well as other environmental issues. Determining factors in the decision to list particular votes include whether the vote was substantive or procedural in nature, and which vote had the greatest effect on the outcome of the legislation. Please note the limitations of this report. Only roll call votes have been included, as voice votes are not recorded by name. A simple numeric score beside a legislator’s name cannot convey the depth of discussions about the issues, nor can it clearly indicate which legislators worked to protect the environment and which legislators worked to undermine environmental protections. This is particularly true when it comes to work done in the committee room. Nevertheless, the scorecard is a great resource to determine a legislator’s environmental commitment. HOW THE VOTES WERE SCORED T he scores were calculated by dividing the number of pro-environmental votes cast by the number of votes the legislator had the opportunity to cast on environmental issues. Absences were counted as a negative vote. !"#$%&'(&)*##$+'%#$,-.+#%)&"-/&" ######01&)#.+&#203"&#'4/#0456#10.&"#7+&4#.+&)&#-"#'#.-& ######+-"#%&)80),'49&#-"#40.#"90)&/:##;-(&7-"&*#"-49& ######<&%#=-55&,#>&7&..#%)&"-/&/#01&)#.+&#10.&#04 ######2:?@?#A.+&#B8)'9(-4CB#D'4E*#+&#7'"#40.#"90)&/#04 ######.+'.#10.&: HOW TO USE THIS SCORECARD VT LCV has prepared this legislative scorecard to highlight legislators’ voting records on environmental issues.

  • 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. The page numbers link to the appropriate page. (posted by Rep. Scott Campbell, St. Johnsbury) Table of Contents Agriculture & Forestry – John O’Brien 2 Appropriations – Maida Townsend 3 Commerce & Economic Development – Michael Nigro 4 Education – Jana Brown & Kathleen James 6 Energy & Technology – Katherine Sims 7 Government Operations – Peter Anthony & Mike Mrowicki 9 Health Care – Leslie Goldman 10 Human Services – Dane Whitman 11 Judiciary – Will Notte 12 Natural Resources, Fish & Wildlife – Larry Satcowitz & Kari Dolan 13 Transportation – Becca White, Gabrielle Stebbins & Diane Lanpher 13 Ways & Means – Carol Ode 15 1 Agriculture & Forestry – John O’Brien Working Lands & Farm to School While new bills, like babies, o/en a0ract much oo-ing and ah-ing, it’s good policy for commi0ees to check in with the “legacies” of past legisla?on. 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.
