An act relating to environmental appeals and enforcement cases

This bill proposes to transfer the authority for hearing environmental permit appeals and enforcement cases from the Environmental Division of the Superior Court to two administrative bodies: the Land Use Review Board and the Secretary of Natural Resources. It directly affects individuals, developers, or organizations appealing decisions on environmental permits under Vermont's Act 250. The key change is moving these cases from the court system to an administrative review process, removing the Environmental Division's role in such appeals. The bill repeals references to the "Environmental Court" and updates procedural language to reflect this transfer of jurisdiction.
