Harrison: As the session end, bills get passed or put off
continued from page 7
towns have done. The legislative action on
Friday takes that choice away from local
government.
A bit of theater was also injected into the
State House last Thursday, when student
activists interrupted House proceedings
with chanting’s from the balcony “This is a
Climate Emergency…” along with hanging
banners that fossil fuels kill people and
throwing hundreds of index cards into the
chamber and onto lawmakers. When the
protesters attempted to shout over the
Speaker, she announced the House would
adjourn and ordered all legislators and
visitors out so the chamber could be secured
by the Capitol police. The protestors
and some Progressive legislators refused
to leave. Three students were ultimately
arrested.
Going into last weekend, there were 21
committees of conference appointed to
work out differences between the House
and Senate on various pieces of legislation.
Only a couple had been resolved as of Friday
afternoon. The committees, which are
comprised of three members from each
Chamber, are expected to meet Monday
and Tuesday in an attempt to bridge gaps
between the House and Senate versions.
One of the conference committees
appears to have reached agreement on a
ban on disposable shopping bags at the
checkout with a 10 cent fee on paper bags
if you don’t bring your own reusable one.
Another committee resolved differences in
lead testing in water for schools and child
care centers.
Among the issues that will carry over to
next year include a tax and regulate plan
for recreational marijuana and allowing
non-citizen legal residents to vote on local
Montpelier issues. Unclear at this point
is a housing bill, S.163, which includes a
provision to require registration of home
contractors. The bill remains in the House
Ways & Means Committee.
The full Senate returns Tuesday, May 21,
with the House coming back on Wednesday,
May 22. Expectations are for the Legislature
to complete its work by Thursday or
Friday, although one has to wonder if 2-3
days will solve some of the thorny issues
that the last few months have not. There
will likely be a date tentatively scheduled in
June to deal with any potential gubernatorial
vetoes.
