H.404 is a bill introduced by Representatives Greer, Corcoran, and Morrissey, which aims to amend the authority over the highways of the Village of Old Bennington. The bill proposes to repeal a section of the 1959 Acts and Resolves No. 300 that currently restricts the Town Road Commissioner from having any authority or duty regarding the highways, streets, lanes, or sidewalks within the Village limits. Specifically, the language stating that "the voters of the Village of Old Bennington shall not vote for road commissioners" and that "a Town road commissioner have any duty or authority" is deleted, effectively allowing the Village to transfer its highway responsibilities to the Town of Bennington.

The bill also includes a provision that states it will take effect upon passage. This change is intended to streamline the management of highway responsibilities and enhance collaboration between the Village and the Town, thereby improving local governance and infrastructure management.
