An act relating to maximum liability of municipalities for tort claims

H 138 sets a maximum liability limit for Vermont municipalities in tort claims: $500,000 per person and $2 million total for all claims arising from a single incident. It directly affects towns and cities (municipalities) facing lawsuits for negligence by employees, as well as individuals filing such claims. The bill amends Vermont law to establish these caps, applying to all claims except those specifically excluded (like quarantine-related damages or fiscal operations). The limits take effect July 1, 2025, and apply to all claims filed under the amended statutes.
