Vermont Saves Program Rule.

Vermont Proposed Rule: 25P039

AGENCY: Office of the Treasurer

CONCISE SUMMARY: The Vermont Saves Program Rule makes two amendments to the existing Rules implemented in 2024 pursuant to 3 V.S.A. Chapter 18. These amendments change the following definitions in CVR 03-000-003, Sec. 1: 11. “Covered employee” means a “covered employee,” as that term is defined in 3 V.S.A. § 531(2). 12. “Covered employer” means a ‘covered employer,’ as that term is defined in 3 V.S.A. § 531(3), that employs two or more employees at any time during a calendar year. These changes will require the participation of more employers and employees in the program by broadening the membership criteria in statute.
