Final House action in Vermont on banking code and Wilmington traffic
The Vermont House pursued final action on a 199 page Commerce Committee banking recodification bill widening the banking and insurance commissioner’s powers and allowing up to five percent of assets in non-bank investments, plus a joint resolution directing the Vermont Traffic Committee to meet Wilmington officials to address Route 9 and 100 traffic. The House passed local planning legislation, sent it to the Senate, and also approved an obscene literature bill restricting sales to minors while rejecting an expansion adding sadistic violence to the obscenity definition.
