 Good afternoon. Welcome to Vermont and House Judiciary Committee. We are working on H183 in act relating to sexual violence and we are continuing our deliberations of the bill from this morning and we have attorney Michelle Childs here to speak to us about House government operations and and just to do a hopefully a quick walkthrough of of the bill 3.1 so we could so we could vote on it. So Michelle, thank you. Sure. Hi. So Evan, can you let me share my screen? Can you see that? Yes. Okay. Great. So I'm just going to walk through the it went well in House government operations and and so I will show you. I'll go through their amendments again. There is just one thing that I forgot that I need to just make one tiny tweak on there, which I'll do when I when I go through show you. So so section one is the definition section. I'm not going to necessarily go into all this because I know you all have seen it lots of times. If you've got questions, let me know. So definition section. Section two, amending the sexual assault statute and there haven't been any changes to any of this in on the portions that you've been working on. So since the for the last couple of versions. Section three has to do with trial procedure and consent. So listing all the different circumstances of what constitutes consent, what doesn't constitute consent. Section four is your data collection and reporting. Remember the when I went over. I think it was yesterday, but my days are all blending together. I'm not sure. But the last time I went over with you was the the revised language on data collection and reporting. And so again, no changes to that. In section five is the the Intercollegiate Sexual Violence Prevention Council. And so there you've incorporated all the suggested changes from House government operations. The one thing I realized I have to change is it's the not the executive director of the independent colleges. It's a president. So so you know the so you went through those we we tweaked that based on their recommendations as to the college appointments, the college student appointments, tweaked the prosecutor language and added someone from the Defender General's Office. Made that small tweak in in the duties with regard to instead of using climate survey, looking at the aggregated data that had already been collected. Limiting the council to four meetings. So the meeting quarterly. And then this was not in the earlier draft that I gave you because the chair of Govup said texted me while I was presenting the last amendment and requested this repeal language. So at the top of page nine. This section of for the council would sunset in seven years and she said that that is their standard time that they use for best practices in their committee so that their legislature is checking in and making sure that you know these types of groups don't stay on the books if they kind of lose their you know people aren't meeting any more things like that so they'll have to be a check in. But also remember that one of the duties of this council is to be reporting to you so hopefully you'll be hearing from them regularly. Section seven is the appropriations so the $13,000 to the network for staffing the council as well as reimbursement of per diems and expenses for those members who aren't otherwise compensated for attending those meetings. The $40,000 for expansion of the forensic nursing program to primary care providers and reproductive health providers in the community. And then the effective date this July, July 1st. That's it. Is it really only 10 pages? Great. Well, thank you. Thank you so much, Michelle. Appreciate it. Committee members, as I mentioned, we will vote on this today because of crossover and on Tuesday we have scheduled Wilda White and others to address her concerns to understand her concerns. Okay, any questions for for Michelle on this draft? I can't see everybody so if folks want to jump in if they have any questions, please go ahead. I guess not. There you are. There's everybody. Okay. Okay. Well, good work. So I would entertain a motion in support of draft. So Michelle, this will be draft, it'll still be draft 3.1 with the, because I know you just made a change while we while you're yeah just keep it as 3.1. I think if unless although I guess since it's posted why don't you make it vote on 3.2 and I will I will I just changed the draft and added president there and I'll send that to to Evan to post and then as well as to whoever is gonna report it. It has been edited. It has been edited. And so it can go after you vote it can go to the parks office. Okay, great. So it's 3.2 and the only I just want to make sure it's everybody know follow what the one change. Okay, I just want to make sure it's Michelle to go over it. But looks like folks are okay. Okay, great. Okay, so then I would entertain a motion to vote favorably draft 3.2 of h183 that moved. Felicia. I'm sorry. Felicia was moved in Barber second or or that work. Yeah. Okay, great. Wonderful. Okay, any discussion. Nope. Okay, then. Okay, and if you can please call the roll. I'm not is Tom not here. I don't see Tom. All right, well let's let's vote and I'll I'll be in touch with him. Are we okay? Yeah, yeah. Colburn. Yes, totally. Yes. Go slant. Yes. LaLon. Yes. LaFleur. Yes. Norris. Yes. Not. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Okay, so let's let's hold it open. See if Tom is able to join us since we do have another bill to work on anyway. Okay. Wonderful. Great. Well, thank you. Thank you, everybody. And where's Selena has expressed interest in reporting it. There also are, you know, there are different sections within the bill. So certainly folks can talk to different different sections as well, which we've done before when we've had a bill with different different sections. And then we'll we'll see what happens next week when we on Tuesday when we hear from from Wilde and Rory and others. So, but it does have to go up to appropriations. Did you say Selena was was reporting? Yeah. Yeah. Thank you. So Selena, I will email you this 3.2 right now. So you have it. Okay. Yep. And I guess I'll just need to wait for the final vote because we're leaving it open. And if anybody does want to, you know, co-report with me and move through different sections, I guess, just let me and Maxine know. Is that right Maxine? Yeah. Yeah, that's great. Okay, Selena, I also know that you need to go. So I'm just just trying to think what's up with Tom. I hope anybody I can check back in. I just have to deal with it. You know, here he is. Oh, okay. Great. Hi, Tom. Hello. Tying my tie. We just voted on 183 and are holding it open for you. Oh, it's unanimous so far. I figured. Yeah, if you want to call my name. Yeah, go ahead. Yeah, Ken. I called it three times already. No, I was thinking we were coming back at quarter after. No worries. So is that a yes? Yeah, that's a yes. Yeah, definitely. Okay. Thank you. Okay. All right. Great. All right. Thank you, Selena. Take care. Good thing. Thank you. Great. Thank you, Michelle. All right. Great.
