H 831 Vermont House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An act relating to requiring the Secretary of State to include the year of passage in the number assigned to acts of the General Assembly

H.831 requires Vermont's Secretary of State to include the year of passage in the official number assigned to each General Assembly act, changing the format to "Act No. [NUMBER]-[YEAR]" starting in the 2027-2028 legislative session. This procedural change directly affects the Secretary of State's office and the official record-keeping of all future state laws. The bill amends Vermont Statutes Annotated § 104 to mandate this new numbering system for all acts passed after the 2026-2027 biennium. It does not alter the content or effect of any laws, only how they are formally identified in state records.
