Maddy summaryThis bill (H 21) changes Vermont court procedure for serving writs of possession, which are court orders to evict tenants and return property to landlords. It allows a sheriff from any county - not just the county where the property is located - to serve these writs. The change directly affects landlords, tenants, and sheriffs involved in eviction cases by streamlining the service process. The key provision amends Vermont law to explicitly permit sheriffs from other counties to handle this service, making the process more flexible for courts and law enforcement.
