An act relating to naming State buildings and facilities after individuals

This bill prohibits naming Vermont state buildings or facilities after individuals. It requires the General Assembly to formally approve any new naming requests by July 1, 2025, effectively halting new individual-named facilities after that date. The bill cites current naming practices - where all state buildings named after people have been White men - as a key reason for the change, aiming to address political influence and historical inequity in the naming process. The law amends existing statute to mandate Assembly authorization for all such names, with no new individual names permitted after the 2025 deadline.
