CVR 11-020-001 § 1
AUTHORITY
Operative Text
These rules are issued pursuant to authority vested in the Department of Housing and Community Development by 3 V.S.A. §§ 801(11), 831, 2452, 2453 and 10 V.S.A. §§ 6205(b), 6231(b), 6252(a), 6253(g), and 6262(b).
CVR 11-020-001 establishes the legal foundation for Vermont's housing and community development rules by identifying the specific state statutes that grant the Department of Housing and Community Development the power to create and enforce them. The provision does not itself impose any requirement or prohibition; it simply anchors the entire regulatory framework in the authority delegated by the Vermont Legislature. Without this statutory grounding, the rules that follow would lack legal force.
Plain English — not legal advice.
As a property owner or manager operating under Vermont's housing regulations, understanding that CVR 11-020-001 traces the rules' authority back to specific Vermont statutes helps clarify why compliance is legally binding rather than merely advisory. Compliant operators generally familiarize themselves with the statutory basis of the regulations they are subject to, since that foundation determines the scope and enforceability of the rules. Knowing which legislative grants of power underpin the Department's authority can be relevant when reviewing the regulations as a whole.
