Gov. Phil Scott signed into law
H.225,a bill that replaces criminal penalties with civil penalties for possession in quantities of 224 milligrams or less of buprenorphine. The medication is considered an opioid partial agonist and can produce effects weaker than heroin and methadone, known as full opioid agonists. Benefits associated with buprenorphine include its ability to diminish the effects of opioid dependence, like cravings and withdrawal symptoms.
Scott in a letter to the General Assembly expressed some doubt, including concerns about the lack of data related to decriminalizing the medication and its efficacy in minimizing overdoses. Although I remain skeptical, I signed this bill because it is well-intentioned and offers another potential approach to reduce the impacts of substance use disorder, he said in the letter.

BURLINGTON, Vt. (AP) Burlington police are investigating gunfire at two large outdoor gatherings of college students over weekend.
Hundreds of students had been partying in the streets, WCAX-TV reported.
“I’ve lived on Isham Street for 22 years and I’ve never seen anything like what I witnessed over the past week,” State Rep. Brian Cina told the news station.
Two gunshots were fired early Sunday morning. Officers arrived and found blood and evidence of gunfire but no victims, police said. They said they found three men with injuries from a physical fight.

MONTPELIER â The House of Representatives gave final passage Wednesday to a resolution declaring racism a public health emergency, but not without some fireworks.
The resolution, JRH 6, passed 135-8 on a roll call vote, following impassioned statements in favor of passage.
JRH 6, sponsored by Rep. Brian Cina, P-Chittenden 6-4, cites racial discrepancies in health outcomes among BIPOC Vermonters including a much higher rate of COVID-19 cases, higher rates of mental health issues, lower incomes and higher poverty rates, as reasons the Legislature should treat racism as a health emergency.
It declares âthat racism constitutes a public health emergency in Vermontâ and commits the Legislature to âthe sustained and deep work of eradicating systemic racism throughout the State, actively fighting racist practices, and participating in the creation of more just and equitable systems.â
