Bill S.115, introduced by Senators Hashim and Harrison, seeks to amend the existing law regarding overdose prevention centers in Vermont. The bill stipulates that an overdose prevention center cannot operate within a municipality unless it receives prior approval from the municipality's legislative body through a majority vote. This requirement aims to ensure that local governments have a say in the establishment of such centers within their jurisdictions.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that the term "municipality" refers specifically to a city or town. The proposed changes are intended to enhance local governance and community involvement in decisions related to public health initiatives. The act is set to take effect upon passage.
