An act relating to approval of amendments to the charter of the Town of Bennington concerning municipal liens

This bill approves charter amendments for the Town of Bennington to give first priority to municipal liens arising from unpaid fines. Specifically, liens from fines under the Town's Land Use Regulations, Property Maintenance Ordinance, or Housing/Building Safety Ordinance will now take priority over other liens that were recorded earlier. These liens remain valid on property for up to eight years from the judgment date, unless renewed under state law. The change directly affects property owners in Bennington who fail to pay fines related to these ordinances.
