Operative words

The amendment extends this Administrative Order until September 7, 2021, but the extension does not imply that every provision in this iteration of Administrative Order 49 will remain in place until that time... because some Judiciary buildings do not have the air-handling capacity to accommodate large groups of people consistent with public health guidance, some continued changes in Judiciary operations are in order... The language of former § 7, governing access to court buildings, is replaced effective July 5, 2021... the Court Administrator retains the authority to adopt reasonable requirements relating to screening, masks and social distancing.

Enforcement

Order of the Supreme Court; PG-13 directive (VT-059, VT-060)

Notes

Issued ten days after the Governor's emergency expired; states that the Judiciary's emergency continued on its own footing.
