Bill > H0508

This bill proposes to approve amendments to the charter of the City of Burlington, which were approved by voters on March 4, 2025, and will take effect upon passage. Specifically, it authorizes the City Council to adopt ordinances requiring landlords to provide notice to residential tenants before terminating a tenancy, and it repeals the existing codified ward boundaries within the charter. Instead, the City Council is now authorized to reapportion the city's wards, which are the geographical areas used for elections, to ensure an equal division of population based on U.S. Census data, with such changes requiring voter approval and not occurring more frequently than once every five years.
