VermontVermont agencies plan services yearly and set board term limits
Starting July 1, 2026, designated Vermont agencies must assess local needs, plan services each year, and have their boards adopt member term limits.
What it does
Each designated agency assesses local needs and prepares a yearly plan describing its services, when it expects to provide them, and the resources it needs.
Each agency board must adopt term limits for its members.
Argument forYearly plans may help agencies match services to local needs and show what resources they need to provide them.
Argument againstBoards may set different term limits, which could make member turnover less consistent across community services agencies.
More detail
Each designated agency assesses local needs and prepares a plan for its services. Each state-designated community services action agency is covered. Agencies update the plan annually.
Each agency board adopts term limits for its members. The rule applies to each community services action agency board.
