Vermont Legislature Adjourns

The Vermont legislature failed to advance SAN-supported legislation in 2023 prior to the adjournment of the session. To follow is a brief summary: 

• Legislation (H.73) to repeal the law tying the state to California’s motor vehicle emission standards. Under current law, sales of new gas- and diesel-powered vehicles will be banned starting in 2035.
• Legislation (S.64) to reform the state’s existing exhaust noise laws. The bill, which includes elements of SEMA’s model legislation, would implement a fair and objective method for determining compliance with the law.

These bills are eligible to be reconsidered during next year’s legislative session.
