The bill enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Vermont outlines appropriations totaling $111,965,288.44 for various state projects over the fiscal years 2026 and 2027. It specifies that no more than $61,969,761.44 shall be appropriated in the first year, with the remainder allocated in the second year. The bill details funding for state buildings, human services, commerce, community development, and various educational institutions, as well as significant investments in infrastructure and environmental initiatives. It emphasizes the need for agencies to consult with the State Treasurer regarding project eligibility for capital funding and mandates notification to relevant committees before canceling any projects.

Additionally, the bill authorizes the issuance of general obligation bonds totaling $100 million to support these appropriations and includes provisions for reallocating funds from prior capital appropriations. It also makes several amendments to existing laws, such as changing the deadline for annual reports and extending the time frame for encumbering funds. Notably, it repeals a previous section regarding the Chittenden Regional Correctional Facility site and allows for the transfer of the Randall Meadow property to the Town of Waterbury under specific conditions. The act is set to take effect upon passage, reflecting the state's commitment to enhancing public services and facilities through targeted investments.
