Tomorrow, (March 9, 2022) the Vermont House Judiciary Committee will hold probably its last hearing on HB629 and a vote should be taken. After a rocky start and some misunderstandings on both sides, this campaign has turned into a positive experience and an exercise in how legislation should run and usually doesn’t. The hearing is scheduled for 9 AM est and can be a watched live here or go through the Judiciary Committee webpage.
