Bill H.527, introduced by Representative Sibilia of Dover, seeks to extend the sunset provision for new siting applications under 30 V.S.A. § 248a by three years. Specifically, the bill amends the current law to change the effective date from July 1, 2026, to July 1, 2029, meaning that the Commission will continue to accept new applications for certificates of public good until the latter date.

Additionally, the bill includes a provision stating that it will take effect on July 1, 2026. This extension aims to provide more time for the consideration of new telecommunications siting applications, thereby supporting public service and land use planning in Vermont.
