An act relating to the historical review and study of burial grounds

This bill directs the Division for Historic Preservation to conduct archaeological reviews of the Vermont State Hospital cemetery and other state institutions to locate and document burial sites. It requires officials to identify how many people are buried at the 1892 hospital cemetery and investigate whether additional burial grounds existed on the hospital property as it appeared in 1915. The legislation also mandates a survey of all state facilities, including correctional and human service centers, to determine if residents were buried on-site and to recommend further research if needed.
