An act relating to water quality of the waters of Vermont

Became law

This already passed. Here's what you can still do.

1. Push for repeal or amendment

Legislative staff still count constituent contacts on enacted laws. A steady mail stream is what gets a bill onto the next session's repeal docket. Pick “Oppose” below and the message will frame the ask around repeal, amendment, or enforcement relief.

→ Write to your rep

3. Tell people the bill affects

Most people don't hear about a state-level bill until enforcement starts. A short note now (not a thread, just a link) gives the people most affected time to plan.

Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill creates a study group to examine Vermont's water quality standards, lake classifications, and antidegradation rules. The group, made up of legislators, state officials, and representatives from various organizations, will report its findings and recommendations to the General Assembly by December 2026. Additionally, the bill requires the Secretary of Natural Resources to report on the potential benefits and drawbacks of establishing a certification program for wetlands professionals.
