An act relating to approval of the adoption of the charter of the Town of Waterbury

This bill approves the adoption of a new town charter for Waterbury, Vermont, which was previously voted on by local residents. The charter establishes a new municipal manager with authority to hire, appoint, discipline, and remove town employees, while also authorizing the Selectboard to levy a one percent local option tax on sales, meals, alcoholic beverages, and hotel rooms. Additionally, the act reorganizes the state's municipal code by redesignating chapters for several other towns to accommodate Waterbury's new charter. The legislation takes effect immediately upon passage and was signed into law by the Governor in March 2024.
