Vt. House overrides Scott bottle bill veto

MONTPELIER, Vt. (WCAX) – With the 2024 legislative session barely a day old, the Vermont House Thursday settled some old business, overriding the governor’s veto of a bottle bill reform bill.

Lawmakers voted 112 to 32 on the override. If the Senate follows suit, the new law would expand the five-cent refund to water and sports drink bottles and put a 15-cent deposit on wine bottles. Backers say it will help Vermonters recycle more.

The governor in a letter to lawmakers this summer said it would be expensive and logistically complicated for people who don’t live near recycling centers. He also says the state should focus on its single-stream blue bin recycling system.
