Senate President Pro Tem Becca Balint Outlines
2022 Legislative Agenda for All Vermonters
On Tuesday, January 4th, the Vermont Senate
began its work for the 2022 legislative
session. Senate President Pro Tempore Becca
Balint issued the following statement outlining
her legislative agenda to support Vermont
working families:
“As we head into another session marked
by the ongoing pandemic, my top priority is
making the most of the historic federal stimulus
dollars available to Vermont to improve
the lives of working families. This means real
and sizeable investments, with much-needed
policy support, in:
• pandemic response
• addressing the housing crisis
• meeting our critical workforce shortage
• protecting our climate and planet
• accountability in our criminal justice system
• supporting our teachers, public employees,
and their pensions, and
• enshrining reproductive rights in our constitution
By meeting these challenges head on, we
signal to all Vermonters that we take seriously
the grave ways their lives have been impacted
in the pandemic and give them real opportunities
to thrive in the Green Mountain State.

We must continue to stand with Vermont
families, businesses, and communities and
support them as the pandemic lingers in our
lives. ur very first legislative action in the
Senate today was adopting resolutions requiring
Senators to be vaccinated or tested weekly,
to wear masks when conducting legislative
business, and to allow ongoing fleibility for
remote legislating. By the end of this week,
we’ll pass out a bill giving towns fleibility in
deciding how to hold Town Meeting to ensure
healthy and safe participation in our local democracy.
In the coming weeks, our committees
will hear from public health eperts and
struggling hospitals, schools, and local businesses
on how we can best support them. This
work will take time, and I continue to call on
the Governor to put in place statewide mitigation
strategies as soon as possible to reduce
the spread of disease and help protect our
health care and education systems.
One of my biggest priorities this session
will be addressing Vermont’s major housing
crisis. Vermonters across the state struggle
with housing costs, access, and stability.
Businesses can’t recruit employees, workers
