Bill H.328 aims to enhance compliance with the environmental justice State policy by including regional planning commissions among the entities required to adhere to this policy. This addition seeks to ensure that regional planning efforts consider and address environmental justice issues, promoting equitable treatment and meaningful involvement of all individuals in environmental decision-making processes.
The bill does not specify any deletions from current law but introduces new legal language that mandates the inclusion of regional planning commissions in the environmental justice compliance framework. This change reflects a commitment to integrating environmental justice considerations into regional planning activities, thereby fostering a more inclusive approach to conservation and development in Vermont.
