An act relating to University of Vermont and State Agricultural College residential living space

This bill limits University of Vermont (UVM) enrollment when Burlington's housing vacancy rate falls below 5%, requiring UVM to cap enrollment at the previous fall semester's level. It mandates that all UVM-owned or affiliated housing meet Burlington's municipal housing codes and rental safety standards by July 2025, with current students in non-compliant housing offered compliant alternatives first. The bill also creates a UVM Housing Task Force (including city officials, UVM representatives, and legislators) to monitor compliance, review housing strategies, and submit annual reports to the state legislature. These provisions directly affect UVM’s enrollment decisions, housing management, and Burlington residents experiencing housing market pressures.
