An act relating to exploring modification to Vermont’s reapportionment process

This bill directs Vermont's Legislative Apportionment Board to study and recommend changes to the state's redistricting process. The Board must examine how to make the process less partisan and ensure legislative districts better follow the "one person, one vote" principle by comparing Vermont's current system with other states' approaches. The study requires public input through at least two hearings and must be completed by January 15, 2024, with findings and recommendations submitted to government operations committees. The Board will receive administrative and legal support from the Secretary of State's office and members may receive compensation for up to 10 meetings. This procedural measure does not change district boundaries itself but aims to improve how future reapportionment plans are developed.
