An act relating to waiver of criminal history record fees for certain DAIL volunteers

This bill waives the $30 criminal history record check fee for volunteers working with organizations that provide free home-delivered meals to elderly Vermonters through the Department of Disabilities, Aging, and Independent Living (DAIL). It directly affects meal program organizations and their volunteers by removing a $30 fee for background checks required for these volunteers. The key provision adds a new exemption to Vermont law (§ 2063) specifically for "no-cost home-delivered meals for elderly Vermonters" administered in connection with DAIL. The fee waiver applies to all such organizations and their volunteers starting July 1, 2026.
