§ 37. Members; terms; retirement; appeal
(a) When a Board member who hears all or a substantial part of a case retires from office
before the case is completed, that individual shall remain a member of the Board for
the purpose of concluding and deciding the case and signing the findings, orders,
decrees, and judgments of the case. A retiring chair shall also remain a member for
the purpose of certifying questions of law if appeal is taken.
(b) A case shall be deemed completed when the Board enters a final order even though judicial
review is sought pursuant to 19 V.S.A. § 5(c) or the case remanded to the Board. Upon remand, the Board then in office may consider
relevant evidence, including any part of the transcript of testimony in the proceedings
prior to appeal. (Added 1985, No. 222 (Adj. Sess.), § 1; amended 2021, No. 184 (Adj. Sess.), § 27, eff. July 1, 2022.)
