An act relating to posting of land
This bill clarifies that landowners who post restrictions on hunting or fishing must do so "annually" by maintaining one sign per year, not multiple times within a year. It directly affects landowners, private preserve operators, and those managing private ponds or propagation farms who wish to prohibit or limit recreational hunting and fishing on their property. The key provision requires landowners to record their annual posting with the town clerk (using a specified form, paying a $5 fee), with the posting remaining valid for 365 days. Signs must be placed at boundaries, dated yearly, and include the owner's contact information. The bill amends Vermont law to standardize this process without changing the core requirement for posting restrictions.
