Phil Scott's Mixed Bag of Decisions: Gun Control Bill Becomes Law, Pay Raise Vetoed, Retirement Savings Bill Signed, and More.

Vermont Governor Phil Scott has allowed a gun control bill, H.230, to become law without his signature. The bill includes safe storage rules, broadened red flag laws, and 72-hour waiting periods for gun purchases. Scott had concerns over the constitutionality of the waiting period provision, but stated that he will allow the bill to become law and await the judicial branch to decide the fate of waiting periods. The constitutionality of gun control measures is uncertain after the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision last year in New York State Rifle and Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen.
