Bill Summary
This bill proposes to repeal Sec. 3 of 1959 Acts and Resolves No. 300 (highway taxes of the Village of Old Bennington) to authorize the Village to transfer the duty and authority over Village highways to the Town of Bennington.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to repeal a specific section of a 1959 law that previously restricted road commissioners from having authority over highways within the Village of Old Bennington. By removing the existing language that prohibited Town road commissioners from having duties or responsibilities for highways, streets, lanes, or sidewalks within the Village limits, the bill effectively allows the Village of Old Bennington to transfer highway management responsibilities to the Town of Bennington. The bill would take effect immediately upon passage, enabling the Village and Town to establish new arrangements for highway maintenance and oversight. This change appears to simplify local government administrative procedures by potentially consolidating highway management under a single municipal authority.
