2013-14: Sponsored H.0735 (BAD): This is the most contentious bill in recent memory.
This massive piece of gun control legislation was attached inside a 'fee' bill to slide it through Montpelier without anyone noticing.
Gun Owners of Vermont not only noticed, but fought it all the way to the end.
If you haven't followed the history and sordid past of this bill, visit the Gun Owners of Vermont Facebook page and jump over to the FILE section. Many downloadable documents outlining this unconstitutional bill will give you the details.
As of May 10, 2014 Act 191 is LAW.
Anyone ACCUSED of 'domestic violence' under a temporary Relief from Abuse Order (unadjudicated - Violation of Article 10), can now have the their house illegally searched without a warrant (violation of Article 11), ALL items that can be deemed 'weapons' (guns, ammunition, knives, baseball bats, bows, axes, etc) will be confiscated by Law Enforcement (violation again of Article 11) and held at the ACCUSED's repayment of fines when a permanent order is lifted.
By creating a new section of Criminal Law under Section 20 V.S.A., the accused then is required to PAY FEES TO THE STATE for the storage of said items when the court deems them to be returned, however, the fees levied are designed to outweigh the value of the firearms and ammo! This is a CONFISCATION BILL!
The law does not recognize a search warrant being needed, nor a court appearance.
This law violates the Vermont Constitution under the following: Article 9, Article 10, Article 11, Article 12, Article 16.

Signed into law by Governor Peter Shumlin on June 16, 2014.

Letter from Cindy Ellen Hill, Esq.:
Why H.735 is unconstitutional and yet it still passed by the incumbents in Montpelier.
H.735 opens up the Pandora's Box on Illegal Search and Seizure.
