The Vermont House has worked productively in the last two weeks. We approved the annual budget adjustment bill (H.138), a mid-year technical adjustment to keep the stateâs fiscal year 2021 budget in balance.
H.138 passed with strong support and included investments to support the Legislatureâs continuing response to the coronavirus pandemic. Much of the adjustment was a result of reallocating unused Coronavirus Relief Funds, which were supposed to expire at the end of last year but were extended by the $900 billion relief bill passed by Congress last December.
COVID relief money was redirected to assistance for the hard-hit hospitality industry, for emergency food, hotel-housing for the homeless, and rental assistance, for Vermont State Colleges system support and for completion of broadband expansion projects.

You might recall that last week, we reported the Legislative Joint Fiscal Committee turned down a number of Scott Administration proposals for reallocating more than $20 million in remaining federal coronavirus relief funds. They did so based on several concerns, including the short notice upon which the proposals were delivered, and concerns about how the money would be spent. But lawmakers including state Sen Dick Sears, D-Bennington, said theyâd welcome another look.
Those proposals are back, and the committee meets at 9:30 a.m. tomorrow to reconsider the package. You can tune in live or watch the proceedings later at this link.
