An act relating to issuance of burning permits

This bill clarifies and updates Vermont's rules for issuing permits to burn natural wood, brush, weeds, or grass in the open air. It requires individuals to obtain written permission from a town forest fire warden before starting such fires, except during periods when the state commissioner prohibits permits due to high fire hazard. The law also defines what materials count as "natural wood" and lists specific situations where permits are not needed, such as burning in snow-covered areas, designated fire rings, or locations at least 200 feet from flammable vegetation.
