The bill H.694 proposes amendments to the charter of the Town of Bennington, specifically regarding the removal process for the Town Manager. It introduces a contract-based exception to the existing requirement for notice, cause, and hearing prior to removal. The General Assembly approves these amendments, which were voted on and approved by the voters on March 4, 2025.

Key changes include the modification of the removal process, where the phrase "On" is replaced with "Unless expressly modified by contract, on" in the context of the 90-day written notice required for removal by the Select Board. This allows for the possibility of a contract that could alter the standard removal procedure. The bill also states that it will take effect upon passage.
