Bill S.81 aims to prohibit municipal corporations in Vermont from enacting any regulations that would limit or prohibit the use of hygienic face masks. The bill introduces new legal language under 24 V.S.A. 2295a, which explicitly states that no municipal corporation can adopt ordinances, resolutions, rules, or other regulations that restrict the use of these masks. Additionally, the bill asserts that its provisions will take precedence over any conflicting provisions in municipal charters.

Furthermore, the bill includes a provision that specifies its effective date, which is set for July 1, 2025. This legislation reflects a clear intent to standardize the regulation of hygienic face masks across municipalities, ensuring that local governments cannot impose restrictions that may vary from state guidelines.
