The Vermont House gave preliminary approval to a bill that would make major changes to the Raise the Age initiative on Wednesday afternoon.The controversial program that aims to move most charges for 19- and 20-year-old offenders out of criminal court and into family court will be delayed until 2027 under the bill in its current form. That program is currently set to go into effect in April.The Department of Children and Families has said repeatedly that they aren't ready for the change, and Governor Phil Scott wants the program repealed.The delay is expected to receive final approval on Thursday before heading over to the Senate.
