The bill proposes a series of amendments to various sections of Vermont law, focusing on administrative processes, labor practices, and motor vehicle regulations. It includes the repeal of the Lake Champlain Bridge Commission and the Tri-State Regional Medical Needs Board, as indicated by the insertion of "[Repealed.]" in the relevant sections. The bill clarifies the delegation of duties by requiring written documentation filed with the Secretary of State, while ensuring the Governor retains ultimate responsibility. Additionally, it updates terminology throughout, replacing "regulations" with "rules" to align with current administrative practices, and enhances the grievance process for employees, ensuring both active and retired employees can present grievances regarding compensation and benefits.

In the realm of labor practices, the bill addresses unfair labor practices and the rights of labor organizations, removing certain restrictions on their actions and clarifying employee rights regarding membership. It also modernizes labor laws by allowing for more flexibility in recognizing employee organizations and procedures for strikes. Furthermore, the bill amends motor vehicle laws by updating terminology and enhancing the authority of enforcement officers to issue orders to prevent traffic issues. Overall, these changes aim to streamline legal language, clarify responsibilities, and improve the governance of state and local agencies while ensuring alignment with contemporary practices.
