The bill S.255 proposes the establishment of a pilot program called the Windham County Law Enforcement Governance Council, aimed at providing coordinated law enforcement and related services to participating municipalities within Windham County. The Council will be formed when five or more municipalities vote to join, and it will operate under a framework that includes defined roles for member and nonmember municipalities, as well as the Windham County Sheriff. Member municipalities will have representation on the Council and will be responsible for funding through a county property tax, while nonmember municipalities will not incur any costs related to the Council's operations.

The bill outlines the governance structure, budgetary processes, and service delivery mechanisms for the Council. It mandates annual reporting and evaluation of the program's effectiveness, with a comprehensive assessment due by December 31, 2033. The Council is set to dissolve on June 30, 2034, or earlier if the number of member municipalities falls to one. Additionally, the bill includes provisions to ensure that nonmember municipalities retain their rights to local law enforcement and continue to receive state police services.
