An act relating to miscellaneous judiciary procedures

This bill updates various court and judicial procedures in Vermont, affecting judges, lawyers, court staff, and individuals involved in legal proceedings. Key changes include raising the small claims court limit from $5,000 to $10,000, allowing judicial masters to hear Superior Court cases, and permitting written declarations instead of sworn oaths in some situations. The legislation also modifies juvenile record access for background checks, clarifies rules for ignition interlock devices, and extends the Vermont Sentencing Commission's term while directing it to report on stalking definitions and cash bail.
