The bill H.220 proposes the establishment of the CHINS Statutory Revision Task Force, which is tasked with reviewing and potentially revising Vermont's laws concerning children in need of supervision (CHINS). The Task Force will consist of nine members, including representatives from the Vermont Superior Court, the Attorney General's office, the Department for Children and Families, and various advocacy organizations. The Task Force will specifically examine the definition of reasonable efforts under current law, consider revisions to existing statutes, and evaluate amendments to related chapters.

The Task Force is required to submit a written report with its findings and recommendations for legislative action by November 15, 2025. The first meeting of the Task Force is to be convened by the Chief Superior Judge by July 1, 2025, and it will continue to operate until February 1, 2026. The bill also states that it will take effect upon passage.
