I don't know about Vermont, but New York law not only requires safety
bars, it requires that you drop/use the safety bars. Contrast this to
Colorado, where many lift do not have bars at all.  Does anyone know why
the western resorts are less rigorous with respect to bars?  Personally,
I don't drop the bar every time I'm riding a lift.
