An act relating to the Vermont Truth and Reconciliation Commission

This bill amends Vermont's Truth and Reconciliation Commission by extending its operational timeline and adjusting key dates for commissioners and the Selection Panel. It changes the commission's end date from July 1, 2026, to May 1, 2027, and extends the Selection Panel's term to align with this new timeline. The legislation also clarifies how commissioners are selected, removed, and compensated, while maintaining the commission's focus on addressing institutional, structural, and systemic discrimination. These changes allow the commission to continue its work for an additional year while providing updated procedures for governance and oversight.
