An act relating to fourth-class licenses for alcoholic beverage manufacturers

Maddy summaryThis bill allows alcohol manufacturers and rectifiers in Vermont to hold up to 20 fourth-class licenses instead of just 10. It directly affects businesses that produce or process alcoholic beverages by changing how many retail licenses they can own. The key change is updating state law to permit a single manufacturer to acquire more fourth-class licenses while keeping the application fee at $70 for up to ten licenses. The bill becomes effective on July 1, 2023.

An act relating to an income tax exemption for members of the National Guard

Maddy summaryThis bill proposes to exempt state active duty subsistence and quarters allowances from income tax for Vermont National Guard members. It directly affects both resident and nonresident National Guard personnel who receive these payments under Vermont law. The key provision amends state tax code to remove these specific allowances from taxable income, while other military pay types remain subject to taxation. The change would apply retroactively to January 1, 2023, for taxable years beginning on or after that date.
