Yesterday, Gov. Phil Scott signed two bills into law and the Senate approved five bills originating in the House.
On April 6, Governor Scott signed bills of the following titles:
H.628, An act relating to amending a birth certificate to reflect gender identity.
H.722, An act relating to reapportioning the final representative districts of the House of Representatives and the senatorial districts of the Senate
When signing H.628, Governor Scott issued the following statement:
“This bill takes an important step forward towards building a more equitable Vermont. Working to make our state more welcoming and inclusive for all must be a priority, and this is another important step towards that goal. I want to thank the legislators, advocates, and members of my Administration for working together to advance this bipartisan initiative and I’m happy to sign it into law.”

I identify as a 6’7″ green “person” from Mars.
Can I identify as Governor and retroactively veto the “Denial of Reality” bill?
Schroedinger’s gender ideology. Birth certificates record sex, not gender. We are endlessly lectured that they’re different, so… They’re only different when it’s convenient?
It’s so useless arguing with post-modernists. I wish people would hurry up, and get over this nonsense.
I am trying not to identify with anything. Just looking for the exit to get the heck out of here. The inmates are running the asylum with situational ethics being applied to fit an agenda that will end up eating its own. Sad story.
Hey Scott, now you can change your birth certificate to identify as a progressive democrat!
Is there an act relating to amending a prior marriage certificate to reflect subsequent status? LOL!
