Became law
This already passed. Here's what you can still do.
1. Push for repeal or amendment
Legislative staff still count constituent contacts on enacted laws. A steady mail stream is what gets a bill onto the next session's repeal docket. Pick “Oppose” below and the message will frame the ask around repeal, amendment, or enforcement relief.

Most people don't hear about a state-level bill until enforcement starts. A short note now (not a thread, just a link) gives the people most affected time to plan.
This bill expands the scope of practice for optometrists in Vermont. It allows optometrists with a special certification to perform certain advanced surgical and laser procedures on the eye and surrounding tissues. The bill also clarifies which procedures are prohibited for optometrists and updates requirements for continuing education and board membership.
