An act relating to an exemption for disability-related income on candidate disclosure forms
H.889 would change Vermont's financial disclosure requirements for candidates running for statewide office by excluding Social Security Disability Income and other disability-related income from the forms they must file. This directly affects candidates who receive such income, as it would no longer require them to report it publicly. The bill's key mechanism is a simple amendment to the disclosure form rules to exempt this specific income type. The policy change removes a reporting obligation for this category of income without altering other disclosure requirements.
