H 506 Vermont House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

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

H 506 approves the adoption of the Town of Charlotte's charter, which was previously approved by town voters on March 4, 2025. The charter establishes Charlotte as a local government entity with the authority to enact its own ordinances and manage municipal affairs under Vermont law. It requires that changes to land use bylaws must be approved by voters at a specifically called meeting, rather than through routine town meetings. The charter also clarifies that Charlotte retains all powers granted by state law and that its provisions are cumulative with existing state statutes.
