The bill introduces a series of amendments to various sections of Vermont law, focusing on enhancing clarity, efficiency, and accountability within state administration. Key changes include the repeal of the Lake Champlain Bridge Commission and the Tri-State Regional Medical Needs Board, streamlining the agencies involved in interstate relationships. The bill clarifies the delegation of duties by the Governor, requiring written documentation filed with the Secretary of State, while ensuring the Governor retains ultimate responsibility. Additionally, it updates terminology throughout the statutes, replacing "regulations" with "rules" to maintain consistency, and modifies provisions related to the reemployment of state employees who enter military service.

Further amendments address the Vermont Internship Program and the Vermont Employees Retirement System, stipulating that interns must commit to working in a State position post-internship or reimburse the State for related expenses. The bill also modernizes language by replacing gender-specific pronouns with gender-neutral terms and clarifies procedural language. In the realm of labor practices, it specifies protections for labor organizations and their members, while also updating municipal regulations regarding motor vehicle operations. Overall, the bill aims to streamline processes, enhance legal clarity, and improve support for individuals involved in various state functions and employment systems.
