VT H0665

Standardizes terminology throughout Vermont statutes by replacing inconsistent terms like "filed," "lodge," and "enter" with uniform language such as "recorded in the land records" and "indexed in the general index" for instruments submitted to municipal clerks

Amends 47 sections across multiple titles of Vermont law (including property, taxation, judiciary, and municipal government statutes) to create consistent references to land records recording and general index indexing procedures

Updates gendered language (e.g., "his or her" to "the person's" or "the grantor's") throughout affected statutes as part of the modernization effort

Clarifies that various liens, including producer's liens, mechanic's liens, federal tax liens, judgment liens, and unemployment contribution liens, must be "recorded in the land records" rather than simply "filed" with town clerks

Takes effect upon passage and applies to recording requirements for deeds, mortgages, attachments, liens, municipal boundary surveys, energy compliance certificates, and tax sale documentation
