Vermontâs criminal statutes include laws banning firearms from schools and courthouses. Do they need additional laws extending that ban to government buildings, hospitals and child care centers?
The Senate Judiciary Committee took up that question on Wednesday, hearing nearly three hours of testimony on S. 30, a bill that would make possessing a firearm in those places a misdemeanor punishable by a year in jail and/or a $1,000 fine.
The bill, introduced by state Sen. Phil Baruth, D/P Chittenden, is supported by more than half of the Senate. Its 15 cosponsors include Senate President pro tem Becca Balint, D-Windham, Sen. Brain Campion, D-Bennington, and Sen. Jeanette White, D-Windham.
