contents The recent discovery of a charge density (CDW) state in ScV$_6$Sn$_6$ at $T_{\textrm{CDW}}$ = 91 K offers new opportunities to understand the origins of electronic instabilities in topological kagome systems. By comparing to the isostructural non-CDW compound LuV$_6$Sn$_6$, we unravel interesting electrical transport properties in ScV$_6$Sn$_6$, above and below the charge ordering temperature. We observed that by applying a magnetic field along the $a$ axis, the temperature behavior of the longitudinal resistivity in ScV$_6$Sn$_6$ changes from metal-like to insulator-like above the CDW transition. We show that in the charge ordered state ScV$_6$Sn$_6$ follows the Fermi liquid behavior while above that, it transforms into a non-Fermi liquid phase in which the resistivity varies sublinearly over a broad temperature range. The sublinear resistivity, which scales by $T^{3/5}$ is a common feature among other vanadium-containing kagome compounds exhibiting CDW states such as KV$_3$Sb$_5$, RbV$_3$Sb$_5$, and CsV$_3$Sb$_5$. By contrast, the non-Fermi liquid behavior does not occur in LuV$_6$Sn$_6$. We explain the $T^{3/5}$ universal scaling behavior from the Coulomb scattering between Dirac electrons and Van Hove singularities; common features in the electronic structure of kagome materials. Finally, we show anomalous Hall-like behavior in ScV$_6$Sn$_6$ below $T_{\textrm{CDW}}$, which is absent in the Lu compound. Comparing the transport properties of ScV$_6$Sn$_6$ and LuV$_6$Sn$_6$ is valuable to highlight the impacts of the unusual CDW in the Sc compound.
