H 231 Vermont House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An act relating to technical corrections to fish and wildlife statutes

This bill makes technical updates to Vermont's fish and wildlife statutes by removing outdated definitions and correcting references to repealed laws. It deletes obsolete terms like "pike perch" from definitions and revises penalty points for violations by striking references to now-repealed sections (e.g., snaring animals, crossbow transport rules). The bill also clarifies rules about carrying crossbows in vehicles, ensuring consistency with current enforcement practices. These changes streamline existing laws without introducing new restrictions or penalties.
