An act relating to completing the one-stop portal for businesses

This bill directs Vermont state agencies to create and complete a one-stop online portal designed to help small businesses with fewer than 20 employees navigate state requirements. It establishes a steering committee led by the Secretary of State to develop a plan that consolidates business registration, permits, licenses, and payments into a single digital system. The portal will also include features for demographic self-identification, simplified annual filings, and access to state and federal business programs. Agencies must submit a detailed proposal with timelines and funding plans by December 15, 2023, and designate staff to support the committee's work.
