The bill H.532 amends the existing law regarding the mandatory retirement of college professors in Vermont. Specifically, it repeals the provision that allowed institutions of higher education to retire employees with unlimited tenure upon reaching the age of 70. The previous language, which stated that such employees could be allowed to continue working on a nontenured basis at the institution's discretion, has also been removed.

Additionally, the bill establishes an effective date for the changes, stating that the act will take effect on July 1, 2026. This legislative change reflects a shift in policy regarding the retirement age for college professors, eliminating the mandatory retirement age previously stipulated in the law.
