The House concurred in the Senate's proposal of amendment to H.9 41, an act relating to municipal regulation of agriculture.
The Member from Shaftesbury reported that the House Agriculture, Food Resiliency and Forestry Committee voted 7-0-1 to concur. The Senate amendment struck section 5 of the House proposal of amendment, language that would have established a study committee to continue conversations among municipalities, farmers and interested parties. The committee said it regretted removing the study group but supported concurring to ensure the underlying bill moved forward; it noted stakeholders may continue to meet voluntarily.
The House recorded concurrence by voice vote.
What happens next: with concurrence recorded, the bill proceeds with the Senate's amendment in place; stakeholders may pursue further discussions outside the study-committee structure.
