MONTPELIER â A proposal to restrict firearms from hospitals, child care facilities and certain public buildings has been whittled down to hospitals and has emerged from the Senate Judiciary Committee with a favorable recommendation.
The bill, S. 30, has been replaced with a âstrike-all amendmentâ that bans firearms from hospitals and charters a study by the Capitol Complex Security Advisory Committee on the regulation of firearms in the complex. The study will look at situations when people have brought firearms onto the property, how those incidents were handled, and whether the issue should be addressed in legislation.

The Vermont Supreme Court on Friday upheld the legality of a 2018 state law that restricts the size of large-capacity ammunition magazines for firearms.
The law, passed by the Legislature and signed by Gov. Phil Scott in response to what police described as a near-miss school shooting in Fair Haven, is a “reasonable regulation of the right of the people to bear arms for self-defense,” the court said in its decision.
