An act relating to compliance with the environmental justice State policy

H 328 would require regional planning commissions to comply with Vermont's environmental justice State policy. Currently, the policy applies to certain state agencies, but this bill adds regional planning commissions as mandated entities. These commissions coordinate regional planning for issues like land use, transportation, and economic development across multiple towns. The bill directly affects how these commissions conduct their planning work to ensure environmental justice considerations are integrated into their decisions.
