Act 138 (which began life as H.211) overhauls Vermont's data broker and personal information protection laws, strengthening consumer privacy protections, data broker registration and enforcement, security breach notification requirements, cybersecurity governance, and educational technology oversight, covering topics such as data privacy, consumer protection, cybersecurity infrastructure, government transparency, and student data protection.

Act 126 (formerly S.298) creates a new Vermont voter protections framework aimed at protecting access to voting and election administration, while also updating rules on voter checklist use, candidate disclosures, campaign-related security expenses, election intimidation, voting rights enforcement, and candidate compliance procedures.

The bill, S.328, adjusts several state programs and local planning requirements to better support housing development, align services and housing for Vermonters with developmental disabilities, and refine how communities plan for growth and infrastructure, with key topics including municipal planning and zoning, housing finance and credit facilities, common interest communities, service-supported housing, downtown and village center designations, and targeted housing needs assessments.

The bill, H.585, makes a set of health insurance reforms intended to strengthen oversight of nonprofit health insurers, increase transparency in parts of the health coverage market, and change certain payment and coverage rules, affecting insurer governance, executive compensation, association health plans, claims review, site-neutral reimbursement, prescription drug cost-sharing design, and health care sharing plan reporting.

Act 173 reforms how primary care is paid for in Vermont while also laying the groundwork for a broader universal primary care framework, with major topics including Blueprint for Health payment reform, insurer participation and transparency, primary care spending targets, Blueprint funding, health care governance and oversight, care transitions, pharmaceutical coverage notice, and regional universal primary care.

Act 170 advances the next phase of Vermont’s education system transformation by creating regional cooperative educational service areas (CESAs), requiring all districts to participate in structured studies of possible union school district formation, delaying major parts of the State’s broader education finance transition, and commissioning further work on prekindergarten funding, education governance, shared services, district reorganization, education finance, and early childhood access.

Act 152 makes technical, transitional, and policy changes to Vermont’s land use and regional planning laws to recalibrate implementation of Act 181. In the House proposal of amendment, the bill repeals Act 181’s road-jurisdiction and Tier 3 jurisdiction provisions, delays certain related implementation dates, extends several housing-related exemptions through 2028, and clarifies how Tier 1A and Tier 1B review will work under the new land use planning framework. It also makes changes to regional planning procedures, creates new reporting and oversight requirements, and adds a public engagement process on working lands and natural resource protections.

Act 177 is aimed at transforming Vermont's career technical education (CTE) system, expanding student access to CTE, and modernizing program delivery while aligning training with workforce demands. The bill also reforms governance and funding structures and strengthens adult education pathways, and (in the new House Commerce Committee draft) adds substantial new operational provisions including mandatory guidance issuance, a career navigation framework, statutory credit-recognition changes, a redefined concept of comprehensive high schools, CTE educator licensing recommendations, and a formal legislative working group charged with delivering draft governance legislature by December 2026.

Act 169 sets Vermont’s fiscal year 2027 (2026–2027 school year) education property tax calculation (known as the yield amount), adds temporary renter credit relief and changes to the excess spending rules, and makes several technical education finance changes.

The bill, which does not yet have a number, restructures Vermont’s school governance system by creating a new statewide map of supervisory unions, pushing districts toward larger governance models, and revising parts of the education funding formula, supervisory union boundaries, district mergers, transition grants, education funding, student weighting, and implementation timelines.
