Vermont House Upholds Veto of the Children’s Products Reporting Law
May 8, 2018
State representatives in Vermont upheld Governor Phil Scott’s veto of S.103 on a 94-53 vote last week. The legislation updated the children’s products reporting law and eliminated the need of the state to base regulations on the weight of scientific evidence, and instead allowed new regulations to be based on anecdotal studies. While the current law does not affect HCPA product categories, it is widely expected there will be a push to expand the reporting requirements to consumer products in coming years.
