An act relating to approval of the adoption of the charter of the Town of South Hero

This bill formally approves the adoption of a new governing charter for the Town of South Hero, which was previously voted on by local residents in August 2023. The charter establishes the town's legal structure, including its elected and appointed officials, and outlines how the town will operate under state law. Key provisions allow the Selectboard to appoint specific town officers such as a delinquent tax collector, listers, and potentially a Town Administrator, while also authorizing the town to impose a one percent local option tax on rooms, meals, or alcoholic beverages for property maintenance. The legislation ensures the town retains its corporate existence and grants it the authority to create and enforce local rules and regulations.
