Bill H.506, introduced by Representative Waters Evans, seeks to approve the adoption of the charter for the Town of Charlotte, which was approved by voters on March 4, 2025. The bill establishes a new chapter in the Vermont statutes specifically for the Town of Charlotte, outlining its corporate existence and governance structure. It affirms that the Town will continue to operate as a municipal corporation and grants it the powers typically afforded to towns under Vermont law, including the ability to enact ordinances and impose penalties for violations.

Additionally, the bill mandates that any approval, amendment, or repeal of Town bylaws must be conducted through a vote by the Town's residents at a specially warned meeting. It includes provisions for the routine adoption of land use bylaws and ensures that if any part of the charter is deemed invalid, the remaining provisions will still stand. The act is set to take effect upon passage.
