An act relating to boards and commissions

This bill amends Vermont state law to improve oversight and compensation for various government boards and commissions. It directs the Summer Government Accountability Committee to study ways to measure legislative accountability, ensure fair pay across commissions, support equitable participation through compensation, and control the growing number of such groups. The legislation also updates rules for the Vermont Pension Investment Commission regarding member compensation and administrative support, adjusts quorum requirements for the Commission on Women, sets interim quorum rules for regional emergency management committees, and requires the State Ethics Commission to report recommendations for municipal ethics frameworks by January 2024.
