An act relating to establishing safety zones around occupied buildings

This bill establishes safety zones around occupied buildings in Vermont, prohibiting firearm discharge within 500 feet of any inhabited dwelling, camp, or connected structures like barns and stables. The law requires property owners to post visible signs at each corner of these zones stating "safety zone, shooting prohibited," and defines the area as enclosed land for regulatory purposes. Exceptions allow shooting on owned or permitted land and for law enforcement officers acting in their official capacity. Violations of the prohibition result in a $50 fine, and the measure takes effect on July 1, 2023.
