An act relating to considering modifying and restructuring the Vermont General Assembly

This bill establishes a legislative study committee to examine potential changes to the Vermont General Assembly's structure and operations. The committee would investigate options such as meeting year-round, reducing the number of legislators, or transitioning to a single-chamber system to improve diversity and ensure fair compensation and health benefits. Members of the Vermont General Assembly would be directly involved in this review process. The bill does not implement any changes immediately but instead creates a framework for studying and recommending future modifications to the legislature's composition and functions.
