Not sure about Vermont, but the comment might be in reference to the following 2005 Code changes:

410.4 Luminaires (Fixtures) in Specific Locations
(E) Luminaires (Fixtures) in Indoor Sports, Mixed-Use, and All-Purpose Facilities Luminaires (fixtures) subject to physical damage, using a mercury vapor or metal halide lamp, installed in playing and spectator seating areas of indoor sports, mixed-use, or all-purpose facilities shall be of the type that protects the lamp with a glass or plastic lens. Such luminaires (fixtures) shall be permitted to have an additional guard.

XIII. Special Provisions for Electric-Discharge Lighting Systems of 1000 Volts or Less
(F) (5) Metal Halide Lamp Containment Luminaires (fixtures) that use a metal halide lamp other than a thick-glass parabolic reflector lamp (PAR) shall be provided with a containment barrier that encloses the lamp, or shall be provided with a physical means that only allows the use of a lamp that is Type O.
