Only a handful of problems, he said, have surfaced so far. Two inns, one in southern Vermont and another in the Northeast Kingdom, have had complaints filed against them. Both refuse to allow civil union ceremonies or receptions on their properties, although they do host weddings and wedding receptions. Additionally, there is a com- plaint about a wedding photog- rapher who refuses to do civil unions, and one about a news- paper that publishes wedding announcements and not civil union notices. All of these are violations of the public accom- modation law, said Golubock; the HRC is mandated to assess these violations, mediate between the parties, and file lawsuits against businesses when necessary. The 11-member review commission is mandated by Act 91 to inform the public, state agencies, businesses, and organizations about the new law. It will also, among other things, examine the implemen- tation and efiectiveness of the civil union law and its recogni- tion and treatment in other states, hear from witnesses and open portions of some meet- ings to public testimony. Over its two-year life, the commission will file at least two reports with the General Assembly detailing its find- ings, conclusions, and recom- mendations. Deadline for the first report is Jan. .1, 2001. The commission is scheduled to meet again on November 15. www.liveartvt.org.
