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 a new section, 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 clarifies that its provisions will take precedence over any conflicting provisions in municipal charters.

Furthermore, the bill includes a provision that establishes an effective date of July 1, 2025, for its implementation. This timeline allows for a transition period before the prohibition on municipal regulation of hygienic face masks takes effect. Overall, S.81 seeks to ensure uniformity in the regulation of face masks across municipalities in Vermont.
