H 886 Vermont House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

An act relating to approval of amendments to the charter of the City of South Burlington

This bill approves amendments to the City of South Burlington's charter that were previously voted on by local voters. It officially removes three outdated city positions: Fence Viewer, Weigher of Coal, and Inspector of Lumber. The legislation also establishes a seven-member Board of School Directors with staggered terms, requiring elections in 2025 and 2026, and clarifies that school directors cannot hold other city or school district offices except for specific boards. The changes take effect immediately upon the bill's passage by the state legislature.
