Bill H.889, introduced by Representative Nigro, aims to amend the financial disclosure requirements for candidates running for statewide office in Vermont. The proposed change would exempt Social Security Disability Income and any other disability-related income from the disclosure requirements that candidates must currently adhere to.
This bill seeks to ensure that individuals receiving disability-related income are not required to disclose this information when running for office, thereby promoting inclusivity and encouraging more candidates with disabilities to participate in the electoral process.
