An act relating to the Vermont Community Broadband Board and a transfer plan

This bill directs the Vermont Community Broadband Board to create a transfer plan before its scheduled end date of July 1, 2029, ensuring a smooth transition of its responsibilities and assets. The Board must include specific factors in its annual report, such as the status of broadband projects, digital equity initiatives, financial sustainability, and recommendations for which state entity should take over support for communications union districts. The legislation also requires the Board to consider how future broadband funding should be structured and whether staff expertise could continue benefiting state programs after the Board dissolves. This measure focuses on establishing clear guidelines for the Board's final operations and planning for the future management of broadband initiatives in Vermont.
