An act relating to improving State and regional operations

H.801 proposes creating a working group to improve state and regional government operations. The group, appointed by regional planning commissions, state agencies, municipalities, and stakeholders, must produce a December 2026 report surveying state programs aiding municipalities, assessing their impact, and recommending better regional coordination, service sharing, and potential consolidation of state boards. The report must also include proposals for aligning regional plans with state processes. The working group will consult with Vermont's AI Advisory Council and Division of AI to explore public engagement strategies using artificial intelligence, including incentives to improve social health determinants.
