What the law says
“A person who takes ice from water over which people are accustomed to pass and does not place around the opening thereby made in the ice suitable guards to prevent a person, team, or vehicle from falling into such hole or opening shall be fined not more than $50.00.”
Penalty
This section doesn't print a penalty of its own. Other parts of the Vermont Statutes may set one; we haven't looked them up, so we don't state one here.
History note
We didn't find a history note for this section on the official page, so we don't give a year.
In plain English
Our reading
If you take ice from water over which people are accustomed to pass, the section requires suitable guards around the opening so no person, team or vehicle falls in. Not placing the guards can bring a fine of up to $50.
