S. 54, the clean energy assessment districts bill is out of the Senate Finance Committee and on the Senate Notice Calendar. You can read the Natural Resources Committee version along with the Finance Committee amendments here: http://www.leg.state.vt.us/docs/2010/calendar/sc090331.pdf
Go to page 781.
Last Friday afternoon the Judicial Nominating Commission held its organizational meeting in Montpelier. The Commission drafted an application that must be submitted by all applicants, even those that previously applied by submitting letters of interest, CV, etc. Look for an email announcement later this week. It will contain a link to the application that will be posted on our website.
In an unusual move, the House Commerce Committee is convening today at 1 PM to begin testimony on the S. 86, the Uniform Trust Code. I expect Paul Hanlon will be on hand to walk the committee through the senate passed bill. Hearings will continue on Wednesday morning and there is some time also available on Thursday. It’s possible that this major bill, the product of two years of work, will become law this year.
If you haven’t responded to last week’s email asking that you complete a short survey about the VBA and its services please do so as soon as you can. It’s important for us to know what you need the VBA to deliver to you. Thanks.
Later today I’ll be meeting with the Chief Justice to continue our discussions about the current budget crisis as well as the work of the Vermont Commission on Judicial Operation. The Commission is scheduled to meet next Monday at which time I hope we see a plan for its conduct of focus groups throughout the state to hear input from the stakeholders affected by any type of judicial reorganization. I’ll post something as soon as I have it.
