The bill amends the charter of the Town of Williston, as approved by the General Assembly, following voter approval on March 3, 2026. It primarily focuses on the restructuring of local elected offices, specifically eliminating the position of lister. The amendments include repealing the office of lister and establishing that the town will employ or contract with professionally qualified assessors to perform the duties previously assigned to listers. The bill also outlines that the Board for the Abatement of Taxes will consist of the Board of Civil Authority and the Town Treasurer, without the listers, unless the town votes otherwise.

Additionally, the bill introduces new provisions regarding the assessment of property, mandating that the town's assessors meet specific training requirements and have the same powers and responsibilities as listers under Vermont law. A transitionary provision states that any current lister's term will expire 45 days after the bill's passage or upon the hiring of an assessor, whichever comes later. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
