Vermont H0798 seeks to strengthen the state's laws against impersonating a law enforcement officer by ensuring the crime applies to all local, state, and federal law enforcement officers.

The penalties for such offenses include imprisonment and fines, with harsher penalties for repeat offenses. This act aims to protect the public's trust in law enforcement by clearly defining and enforcing the impersonation of officers.
