The bill proposes a series of technical corrections and updates to various sections of Vermont law, focusing on the repeal of certain commissions, clarification of legal language, and modernization of terminology. Notably, it repeals the Lake Champlain Bridge Commission and the Tri-State Regional Medical Needs Board. The bill also specifies that the delegation of duties by the Governor must be in writing and filed with the Secretary of State, while ensuring the Governor retains responsibility for designated officers' actions. Additionally, it updates language regarding the powers of boards and directors in professional disciplines, clarifying that incomplete license applications will be those lacking necessary attestations. The term "regulations" is replaced with "rules" in multiple instances, enhancing clarity and consistency throughout the legal text.
Further amendments address various aspects of state operations, including the Vermont Internship Program and the Vermont Employees Retirement System, ensuring participants commit to state positions post-internship and clarifying retirement benefits. The bill also updates provisions related to labor practices, motor vehicle laws, and commercial drivers' licenses, emphasizing the need for municipalities to adopt ordinances and clarifying the responsibilities of enforcement officers. Overall, the bill aims to streamline legal processes, enhance clarity, and ensure that state agencies operate effectively within their designated frameworks, with all technical amendments taking effect upon passage.
