An act relating to the Uniform Disclaimer of Property Interests Act

The bill was assigned Public Law No. 123 and reformatted from the Senate-passed layout to the enacted statute layout, removing the redundant 'bill as introduced' header block that appeared in the Senate version.

The 'BILL AS INTRODUCED AND PASSED BY SENATE' header and associated metadata (sponsor name, committee referral, date, subject line, statement of purpose) were removed in the enacted version, replaced by the standard enacted act format.

Added introductory metadata including sponsor (Senator Hashim), committee referral (Judiciary), introduction date (January 6, 2026), subject line, and a statement of purpose describing the bill as proposing to enact the Uniform Disclaimer of Property Interests Act in Vermont.

Removed the governor's signature date (June 8, 2026) that appeared in the As Enacted version, since the As Passed version reflects the state before gubernatorial signature.

Changed the header from 'No. 123' format to 'BILL AS INTRODUCED AND PASSED BY SENATE AND HOUSE S.179' format, and changed page count from 15 pages to 24 pages due to added metadata and repeated text in the official version.

Section 4105(c) was expanded to allow a parent to disclaim on behalf of the parent's 'minor or incapacitated child' rather than only the parent's 'minor.' This broadens who can benefit from a parent's disclaimer action to include incapacitated adult children who do not have a guardian appointed.

Section 4117 (Relation to Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act) had a minor formatting change: the U.S. Code citation was moved into parentheses for consistency with the rest of the section.

The official version adds introductory metadata including the sponsoring senator (Hashim), committee referral (Judiciary), introduction date (January 6, 2026), subject line, and a statement of purpose. It also appends a second indented-format copy of the full act text after the line-numbered version.

In Section 4117 (Relation to Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act), the parenthetical around the federal citation was removed: changed from '(15 U.S.C. § 7001, et seq.)' to '15 U.S.C. § 7001, et seq.' This is a formatting-only change with no legal effect.
