Vermont Business Magazine The Land Use Review Board has suspended work on two components of Act 181 in response to proposed legislative action: rulemaking on Tier 3 (critical natural resources) areas and implementation of the Road Construction Jurisdiction (the “road rule”). The Legislature has indicated that it intends to repeal these two sections of the land use modernization law, Act 181, through a bill now under consideration by the House Environment Committee (Senate bill S. 325).
The Board has updated its recently released Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) document to reflect suspension of Road Construction Jurisdiction and Tier 3 work. The updated FAQs continue to explain other changes to Vermont’s land use law and address questions raised by Vermonters.

In short, the Board has suspended further work on Tier 3 and Road Construction Jurisdiction at this time as the Legislature has indicated that it will repeal these portions of Act 181 (see S. 325).
