An act relating to the repeal of 2025 Acts and Resolves No. 73
This bill repeals most provisions of 2025 Acts and Resolves No. 73, which was a major education and tax reform package. It specifically retains changes to tuition eligibility for approved independent schools, State Board of Education appointment rules, and the creation of regional assessment districts. The bill also creates new property tax classifications: a higher rate for second homes/short-term rentals and a separate classification for seasonal residential properties taxed like nonhomestead nonresidential properties. These changes directly affect Vermont school districts, property taxpayers, and the administration of education funding. The repeal does not alter the foundation formula or other core education finance mechanisms established by the 2025 law.
