House Commerce Committee backs S.327 draft adding stakeholders, changing grant invoicing and setting rounding notice rules

The Vermont House Committee on Commerce & Economic Development on April 21 voted to report favorably on draft 4.27 of S.327, which expands a business‑growth study stakeholder list, adjusts rural development grant invoicing to reimburse submitted invoices at 50% (award amounts unchanged), and requires businesses that round cash transactions to post a model notice; the committee directed staff to send a clean copy to legislative staff.
