Bill H.429 seeks to expand the jurisdiction of the Human Rights Commission in Vermont by allowing it to handle complaints of unlawful discrimination specifically against members of the General Assembly or elected statewide officials. This change aims to ensure that elected representatives are protected under the same anti-discrimination laws that apply to other citizens, thereby promoting accountability and fairness within the state's political framework.

The bill does not include any specific insertions or deletions from current law, but its introduction signifies a legislative intent to enhance the protections available to public officials in the context of discrimination complaints. By granting the Human Rights Commission this additional jurisdiction, the bill underscores the importance of upholding human rights standards across all levels of government.
