Bill H.801 proposes the establishment of a working group aimed at enhancing the operations of State and regional governments in Vermont. This group will consist of members appointed by various stakeholders, including regional planning commissions, development corporations, State agencies, and municipalities. The working group is tasked with producing a comprehensive report by December 2026, which will include a survey of existing State programs that support municipalities, an assessment of their effectiveness, and recommendations for improving regional governance and service coordination. Additionally, the report will address the integration of regional plans into State processes and suggest ways to reorganize State boards and commissions.

Furthermore, the working group will collaborate with the Artificial Intelligence Advisory Council and the Division of Artificial Intelligence to foster public engagement in its activities. This engagement will explore the application of artificial intelligence in government operations and include incentives aimed at enhancing social determinants of health. The bill emphasizes the importance of collaboration among various entities to improve governance and service delivery at both State and regional levels.
