Bill H.787, introduced by Representative Wood of Waterbury, aims to extend the limitations on municipal bylaws as outlined in 24 V.S.A. § 4413 to include State-funded institutions and facilities, as well as those regulated by a public institution that provide critical public functions. The bill recognizes that interruptions to these services could pose risks to individuals, disrupt access to essential supports, or hinder the continuity of legally mandated services.

The proposed legislation seeks to ensure that municipal bylaws do not impede the operation of these vital institutions, thereby safeguarding public health and welfare. By clarifying the scope of municipal bylaws in relation to the Agency of Human Services infrastructure, the bill aims to enhance the stability and reliability of services that are crucial for the well-being of the community.
