For decades, Vermont has stood apart for its unusually permissive approach to public nudity. A new bill in the state legislature would end that era. This episode tracks the introduction of House Bill H.683, which proposes a statewide criminal ban on public nudity, including on private property visible from public spaces. As local restrictions give way to a broader legal shift, the measure raises questions about civil liberties, local control, and how quickly long-standing norms can be rewritten through statutory language. 🪐
