An act relating to the transfer of property by Vermont’s congregational churches

This bill would remove special legal rules that currently govern how Vermont's Congregational churches transfer their property. By repealing specific state statutes, the bill allows these churches to handle property transfers in the same way as other religious organizations. The changes would take effect on July 1, 2024, and do not alter existing property rights or interests held by religious corporations.
