An act relating to the timing of posting and recording notice of the prohibition on taking game from private property

This bill changes how often landowners in Vermont must post and record notices prohibiting hunting on their private property. Instead of requiring annual updates, landowners would only need to post and record these notices every five years or when ownership changes. The law requires signs to be placed at property corners and along boundaries, with specific size and design standards set by the state commissioner. Landowners must also file a recording form with their town clerk, which includes details like acreage, location, and date, while keeping a copy for themselves. The changes would take effect on July 1, 2023, applying to private preserves, farms, ponds, refuges, and shooting grounds.
