Executive Order No. 3-8 (No. 83-84) [Abolition of Certain Boards, Commissions, Councils and Other Bodies]
WHEREAS, the Governor has the power under 3 V.S.A., chapter 41 to effect change in
the organization of the executive branch by means of Executive Order, and
WHEREAS, various Governors over the years have used Executive Orders to establish
boards, commissions, councils and similar bodies for varying purposes, and
WHEREAS, a number of these bodies have been inactive for several years, have been
superseded by similar statutory bodies, or have otherwise ceased to serve the purpose
for which they were established, and
WHEREAS, an attorney general’s opinion has determined that Executive Orders continue
in effect indefinitely unless limited in duration by their own terms or because they
have a transitory effect, or until revoked, rescinded or superseded, and
WHEREAS, there is need to officially abolish those bodies established by Executive
Order which have outlived their usefulness yet remain in existence,
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Richard A. Snelling, by virtue of the power vested in me as Governor
of Vermont, do hereby revoke and rescind the following Executive Orders and the bodies
