The Judiciary Committee on May 27, 2025, voted to concur with the Senateproposal amendment to H.105, a bill to expand the Youth Substance Awareness Safety Program (YSAS) and to consolidate select substance possession matters into that diversion process. The Senate amendment adds possession of cannabis to the statute, repeals the separate civil cannabis provision, removes delinquency classification for cannabis possession, and creates an option to seek review of an automatic license suspension under Vermont Rule of Civil Procedure 75 before a complaint is filed in the Judicial Bureau.
