An act relating to speed limits in downtown centers and village centers

This bill allows Vermont towns and villages with designated downtown development districts or village centers (under existing law) to set posted speed limits below 25 miles per hour. It amends state statute §1007 to permit these lower speed limits in specific areas, overriding previous requirements. The change directly affects local governments in communities that have formally designated such zones under Vermont law. The bill takes effect on July 1, 2026.
