Regulation Rewrite Workgroup 2022
14 June 2022
Title 7 VSA § 108 gives statutory authority to the Board of Liquor and Lottery to adopt rules as necessary to carry out to provisions of Title 7. As such, one Administrative Rule is kept under the Vermont Code of Rules, which includes several groups of regulations to ensure public safety by preventing the misuse of alcohol and tobacco through controlled distribution, providing for applicable enforcement, and establishing robust education requirements.
These Regulations have been updated periodically over the years to reflect changes in statute and realities in the regulatory landscape, with the most recent update having occurred in late 2016. An effort was undertaken in late 2019, but that work was not codified in an Administrative Rule update. Since then, several Acts as enacted by the Vermont Legislature have amended significant portions of Title 7, including the consolidation of the Departments of Liquor and Lottery. The Department is highly motivated to engage in this work again to align the regulatory framework with best practices, with state law, and with common sense.
DLL is beginning the process to modernize and deconflict our current regulatory model with a series of 11 working meetings to look at subsets of our Administrative Rule. DLL strongly emphasizes licensee and public input in this process, and we are making these working meetings open to everyone via the Microsoft Teams platform. A list of the upcoming meetings is below with an agenda and Teams link. Please consider taking part or sending the department your feedback on all of the regulations that you would like considered.
The Current Administrative Rule is found here.
The 2019 Proposed Regulation Rewrite is found here.
