AI Summary
This bill formally approves amendments to the charter of the Town of Bennington, which were previously approved by the town's voters on March 4, 2025, and establishes that municipal liens resulting from fines imposed under the Town's Land Use Regulations, Property Maintenance Ordinance, or Housing, Building, and Life Safety Ordinance will have first priority in law, meaning they will take precedence over any other existing liens regardless of when they were filed, and these liens will remain valid until the fines are paid or discharged, for a maximum of eight years unless renewed according to state law.
