Members outlined the risks of attempting to pull S60 back from House Appropriations, described parliamentary steps under rule 51 and noted the likelihood of a roll call or division if the body is asked to relieve appropriations and return the bill to the agriculture committee.

Representative Leland Morgan and others described continuing outreach to members of House Appropriations to ask why the committee retained the measure when it currently has no funding attached. Committee members discussed an alternative: placing the committee’s “security fund” language into the miscellaneous agriculture bill H484 so the concept would remain on the calendar without attaching money this year. Participants debated whether inserting fund language with no appropriation would nonetheless require another referral to appropriations because the text references a fund.

Speakers agreed to continue discussions with appropriations leadership and to consider procedural options ahead of the next legislative calendar events. No motion was made and no roll-call vote occurred on S60 or H484 during the meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","House Agriculture, Food Resiliency, and Forestry - 2025-05-27 - 1:00 PM","oneSentenceSummary","Committee members discussed procedural options to regain control of S60 from House Appropriations and whether to insert security-fund language into H484; no formal action was taken during the May 27 meeting.","taxTitle","Agriculture, Food Resiliency, & Forestry, HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, Committees, Legislative , Vermont","taxId",36721,"location","Vermont","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6224748,"Agriculture, Food Resiliency & Forestry Committee recommends S45 with amendment to shield farmers from nuisance suits",591,5440,596830,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3549249-65315c730e00c177f907a4a904356b59&start=5&end=596","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3549249-65315c730e00c177f907a4a904356b59/thumbnail_5440.jpg","/articles/6224748/Vermont/Agriculture-Food-Resiliency-Forestry-Committee-recommends-S45-with-amendment-to-shield-farmers-from-nuisance-suits","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6224748-895a443f643b463889e64d1d65ddb3d1/orig.mp4?Expires=1776609449&Signature=HOps9qzedoptKBB8RcMGIKzjWFYZYSJDTNIPvUcZLmALBdb2xco9j2NfOx7pBQ8iP9jSwmGT4drWL2FNk2kCTUgWc4UQ3aLMZ5ywVJrUf3~I8AKKOnhbV0e6ABUwYIHfqgsRTddZ4tpjipIAWu2mzNMsS1Kef3ZJHXIPp8b2CjaDAjoxVorWmZ-GRcPWxQ88xKNOB23QexeiSDVYH4zsBv2qfAaQFvNVSUGSoxUBSv4Vfhe~rU3dLF2QXZpnqYbJ74XKDcD~2QjQgBf1QJ0NKszmbxR9kVAnHeq16x5A7vUkfWqRk~SeeojJzo283SAXK824MTZAxIhqCbAntEOcNg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The House Agriculture, Food Resiliency & Forestry Committee on May 27, 2025 voted to recommend S45, draft 3.2, with amendments intended to provide farmers protection from nuisance suits. The committee recorded seven votes in favor and one opposed on the motion to report the bill with amendments.

Committee members said they had reviewed earlier drafts of the bill over several weeks, produced a committee amendment and shared a straw draft with the House Judiciary Committee, which returned the bill to the agriculture committee for action. The version voted on, labeled 3.2 and dated May 27, 2025, is identical to the committee's prior language except that the caption directs the measure to the House of Representatives rather than to the Judiciary Committee.

The clerk called the roll on the favorable-with-amendment motion. The recorded votes were: Michelle Boslin, yes; Gregory Burt, yes; Chad Lipsky, yes; Representative Leland Morgan, yes; Richard Nelson, yes; John O'Brien, yes; David Durfee (chair), yes; Heather Supernaw, no. The tally reported was seven yes, one no, zero abstentions. The committee chair was designated as the reporter for the measure.

Committee members noted the bill’s path through committees and said they would report the committee action as required. No further amendments were made on the floor during this committee session.","On May 27, 2025, the House Agriculture, Food Resiliency & Forestry Committee voted 7-1 to recommend S45, draft 3.2, with amendments intended to provide protection from nuisance suits for agricultural operations; the measure was reported favorably to the House with one dissenting vote.","actionData","errors"]
