In 2024, the Vermont General Assembly passed and Governor Scott signed Act 133, which made substantial changes to Vermont's Open Meeting Law. A provision of the new law requires all municipalities to post a copy of Title 1, Section 314 of the Vermont Statutes to the municipal website, if one is maintained. In compliance with this provision, a document containing the full text of this section posted is at sheldonvt.com/OML and quoted in full here.
Another provision of this law requires that all meetings of "non-advisory" public bodies be recorded (audio or video) and made available for at least 30 days following the posting of the "official" minutes of the meeting. This applies to virtually all of the boards and committees that regularly meet in the Town of Sheldon. Recordings of meetings of each public body will be available on their respective webpages on this site, as well as on the Recordings page under Public Documents.
