The bill S.33 proposes the establishment of a two-year pilot program aimed at enhancing community nurse services for aging Vermonters. It allocates $450,000 to the Department of Disabilities, Aging, and Independent Living to support one or more existing community nurse programs. The Department will solicit applications from these programs, selecting participants based on their proposals, which must include plans for creating a community health worker position, expanding nursing services, addressing coverage gaps, improving administrative support, and developing a data collection system to track program effectiveness.

Additionally, participating programs are required to submit a report to the Department by December 15, 2027, detailing the number of aging Vermonters served, identifying program gaps, and suggesting improvements. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
