HCR 33 Vermont House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

House concurrent resolution honoring criminal defense and personal injury attorney and Thetford Academy indoor track coach Charles Buttrey of Thetford

HCR 33 is a ceremonial concurrent resolution honoring Charles Buttrey, a criminal defense attorney and Thetford Academy indoor track coach. It recognizes his 38-year legal career (including work with indigent clients in New Hampshire's public defender program), his personal injury law practice, his role as a track coach (noting his 2025 Division II championship win), and his advocacy for criminal justice reform. The resolution has no legal effect - it simply expresses the Vermont General Assembly's appreciation and directs the Secretary of State to send a copy to Mr. Buttrey. As a non-substantive honor, it does not create policy or affect any laws.

No substantive content was altered.

Added formal title block with Montpelier, Vermont location and Concurrent House Resolution designation
