New Laws Begin in VT

Posted: Updated:

Burlington, Vt. - Dozens of new laws just took effect in the Green Mountain State.

One that started on July 1, minors can no longer go tanning in Vermont.

And, after a fierce debate in the Legislature, schools must now report how many of their students are immunized to the Department of Health. More controversial, parents who want their kids to opt out of getting vaccines must fill out a Department of Health form.

Another law requires schools to use green cleaning products. And there is new protection for some of Vermont's most vulnerable citizens. Victims of human trafficking in Vermont can no longer be charged with prostitution.
