The 2022 Prohibit Slavery and Indentured Servitude Amendment, officially titled the "Slavery Prohibition Amendment", and listed on the ballot as Proposition 2, was a legislatively referred constitutional amendment that was adopted on November 8, 2022, by a landslide majority of 88.7% of voters. It clarified the state's ban on slavery to include involuntary servitude and all other forms into the Constitution of Vermont. It was signed into the constitution by Republican governor Phil Scott on December 13th, 2022, along with Proposition 5.[2]
Vermont was amongst the first territories in the United States to ban slavery in 1777, prior to its admission as a state in 1791. However, there were notable exceptions for those bound by consent or law to repay debts or fines.
