H.404 is a bill introduced by Representatives Greer, Corcoran, and Morrissey, which seeks to amend the authority over the highways of the Village of Old Bennington. The bill proposes to repeal specific provisions from the 1959 Acts and Resolves No. 300 that currently restrict the Town Road Commissioner from having any authority or duty regarding the highways, streets, lanes, or sidewalks within the Village limits. By removing these restrictions, the bill allows the Village to transfer its highway responsibilities to the Town of Bennington.

The bill includes the deletion of language that states the voters of the Village of Old Bennington shall not elect road commissioners and that the Town Road Commissioner has no authority over Village highways. The act is set to take effect upon passage, thereby enabling a more integrated management of highway responsibilities between the Village and the Town.
