An act relating to a governor’s mansion study committee

This bill creates a Governor's Mansion Study Committee to evaluate the feasibility of establishing a governor's residence and social center in Vermont's capital. The committee would include legislators, former governors' staff, state officials, and experts in historic preservation, security, and construction to study various aspects of the proposal. Key areas of investigation include the need for such a facility, potential funding options, security requirements, and whether the state could acquire a historic house through donation or relocation from other towns. The committee must hold its first meeting by August 31, 2024, and submit a written report with findings and recommendations by December 15, 2025, before the committee dissolves.
