An act relating to providing an oath option in affirmation requirements throughout the Vermont Statutes Annotated

Summary

The bill lets people choose to swear an oath instead of making an affirmation in any situation covered by the Vermont Statutes Annotated where only an affirmation is presently required. It applies to anyone who must affirm in legal, governmental, or administrative settings, giving them a choice that may better match personal or religious preferences. The change is intended to broaden the options for making legally binding statements.
