Bill H.328, introduced by Representative Logan of Burlington, aims to enhance compliance with the environmental justice State policy by including regional planning commissions among the entities required to adhere to this policy. The bill seeks to ensure that these commissions, which play a crucial role in regional development and planning, are held accountable to the standards set forth in the environmental justice framework.

The proposed legislation reflects a commitment to integrating environmental justice considerations into regional planning efforts, thereby promoting equitable treatment and meaningful involvement of all individuals in environmental decision-making processes. By expanding the scope of compliance to include regional planning commissions, the bill underscores the importance of addressing environmental disparities at a local level.
