An act relating to approval of amendments to the charter of the Town of St. Johnsbury

This bill approves amendments to the town charter of St. Johnsbury, Vermont, which were previously voted on by local residents in November 2022. The changes grant the town expanded powers to manage municipal affairs, including authority to levy taxes for water infrastructure bonds, establish and maintain public utilities like water and sewage systems, and operate fire and police departments. The charter also allows the town to make local improvements, acquire property for public use, and regulate various local businesses and activities through ordinances. Additionally, the amendments authorize the town to provide financial support for Fairbanks Museum as long as it remains a nonprofit educational institution.
