Personal life
Black and her ex-husband, Rob, had three children. In 2018, Black's son, Andrew, committed suicide the same day he purchased a handgun. When joining the legislature Black advocated for legislation that would require waiting periods between firearm purchases and possession. In 2023 her sponsored legislation H.230, became law. Act 45 created a safe storage provision in Vermont statute, expanded existing extreme risk protection orders, and mandated a 72 hour waiting period between purchase and possession of firearms.
