In May 2006, Vermont's General Assembly enacted voluntary guidelines for outdoor lighting and established a 20-member legislative outdoor-lighting advisory board to create a set of performance-based, outdoor-lighting guidelines.

The advisory board has met a few times and has established a website: vtoutdoorlighting.org. Contact coordinator Debra Sachs (dsachs@10percentchallenge.org) or Gabe Arnold (garnold@veic.org) for more information.
