Disorderly conduct, hallucinogenic mushrooms repeals also in House
By Guy Page and Tim Page
A bill introduced into the Vermont House today would repeal criminal prostitution laws and decriminalize prostitution.
H372 follows the model of the Montpelier City repeal of its prostitution ordinance. It does not specifically ‘legalize” prostitution or establish a legal framework for the prostitution trade. But it does repeal existing laws, which “reflect the social mores of the early 1900s, criminalizing not only voluntary sex work but sexual activity outside marriage, and no longer reflect Vermont’s commitment to personal and bodily autonomy.”
The bill is sponsored by Reps. Taylor Small, Heather Surprenant, Alyssa Black, Tiffany Bluemle, Conor Casey, Brian Cina, Troy Headrick, Noah Hyman, Emilie Kornheiser, Saudia LaMont, Jubilee McGill, Emma Mulvaney-Stanak, Kelly Pajala, and Barbara Rachelson. As a Montpelier City counselor, Casey voted for Montpelier’s prostitution decrim ordinance last summer.
The bill would not affect current law for human trafficking: H372 “proposes to repeal the prostitution laws that currently prohibit “indiscriminate sexual intercourse” and consensual engagement in sex work for hire by adults while retaining strict prohibitions and felony criminal penalties for human trafficking of persons who are compelled through force, fraud, or coercion to engage in sex work.”
Critics of decriminalization say it empowers human traffickers – often males who physically abuse women prostitutes and control their housing and illegal drug supply – because it makes it harder to induce prostitutes to provide evidence against their traffickers.
Disorderly conduct decrim bill – most of the sponsors of H372 also co-sponsored H377, to decriminalize disorderly conduct. The bill simply strikes out current statute that allows punishment of up to two months in jail or a $500 fine for someone who “engages in fighting or in violent, tumultuous, or threatening behavior; makes unreasonable noise; in a public place, uses abusive or obscene language; without lawful authority, disturbs any lawful assembly or meeting of persons; or obstructs vehicular or pedestrian traffic.”
Hallucinogenic mushroom decrim bill – Another House bill would decriminalize psilocybin, the psychoactive ingredient in certain mushrooms. According to a DEA website, its street name is Magic Mushrooms, Shrooms, or just Mushrooms.
H371 would make finding regarding the therapeutic benefits of psilocybin, to remove criminal penalties for possession of psilocybin, and to establish the Psychedelic Therapy Advisory Working Group to examine the use of psychedelics to improve physical and mental health and to make recommendations regarding the establishment of a State program similar to Connecticut, Colorado, or Oregon to permit health care providers to administer psychedelics in a therapeutic setting.
All three bills were referred to the House Judiciary Committee.
Current as of 12:00 PM, February 24, 2023 – for more information see www.legislature.vermont.gov. This page will be updated three times a week through the 2023 session. |

Decriminalize disorderly conduct?
Church Street gonna be LIT this Summer! 🔥
Yup !!!
Well of course they want to decriminalize magic mushrooms, that makes their bills to strike disorderly conduct, and prostitution explainable. The’re trippin !
Decriminalize prostitution?? All in the name of personal autonomy?? Of course, the passing of the Article 22 amendment opens all kinds of doors for changes in laws.
Decriminalize disorderly conduct? Hopefully it will at least be a civil citation similar to a traffic ticket and not totally get rid of the law violation. They might as well do so since the local prosecutor won’t prosecute the violation anyway. The problem is that if an offender commits this violation repeatedly, a police officer cannot detain him or jail him for the repeated or continuing offense if that occurs. All that an officer can do is keep writing civil violation tickets for repeat offenses.
Look at the long list of new laws which are being considered this year! Some of them are just nonsense stuff which they should not even be entertaining. Some are a laundry list of things that they could not pass when the democrats did not have a majority. Now they are having a field day with all of this new legislation. And they are considering health & retirement benefits for themselves as well as possibly being in session for the whole year.
Legalized prostitution. What is the left’s new chant? “Our bodies, your choice?
Love it. Three thumbs up.
Well, look at you, with your PhD in Biological Mathematics! You go, cister!
Babylon pales in comparison to the amoral cesspool that this state is becoming.
Or Gomorrah, and that other place !
Renee, I got that degree at UVM, quite obviously.
Prior to that though, since I was 12 years of age, I well understood that prostitution was NOT “empowering” and the odds of empowerment via prostituting oneself was statistically: ZERO. (But you might need to be a mathematical scholar like me to understand.)
Vermont Republicans should be proud and rejoicing the bills their legislators are advancing, which they indirectly voted for by running candidates that stood for something. Instead of being resentful, they should happily accept the new taxes, the new gun laws, and the further deterioration of their schools. At least we stood for something and now we stand on the steps of the Capitol peering in through the windows.
Every one of these bills are stupid! Boot to the head for all of the sponsors
…boot to the head for all who voted for these clowns…
I sometimes ponder……..
Does Taylor have nicer hair than me?
