Administrative Laws in Vermont.

Vermont administrative law is governed by the Vermont Administrative Procedure Act (3 V.S.A. ch. 25). Judicial review of state-agency action is generally available in the Civil Division of the Vermont Superior Court under 3 V.S.A. § 815, except where specific statutes direct review elsewhere (for example, Environmental Division review of Agency of Natural Resources and Act 250 decisions; Supreme Court direct review of Public Utility Commission decisions under 30 V.S.A. § 12).
