Governor signs 'Raise the Age' bill into law

Vermont Business Magazine Governor Phil Scott today announced action on the following bill, passed by the General Assembly.

On March 31, Governor Scott signed bill of the following title:

  • H.2, An act relating to increasing the minimum age for delinquency proceedings

When signing H.2, Governor Scott issued the following statement:

While I continue to believe repealing “Raise the Age” for 19-year-old criminal offenders altogether is the best approach, I do appreciate the Legislature’s willingness to at least delay it for another two years. In the meantime, we will continue to make our case for a full repeal, so we don’t proceed down this path again in two years.
