An act relating to Act 250 permit appeals

This bill changes where appeals of Act 250 land use permits are heard. It moves these appeals from the Environmental Division of the Superior Court to the Land Use Review Board. The key change requires anyone appealing a District Commission permit decision to file directly with the Board within 30 days, instead of the court. The Board will hold a new hearing (de novo) on the appeal, considering the original permit decision but not bound by it. This affects developers, landowners, and environmental groups involved in Act 250 permit disputes across Vermont.
