Act 181 (H. 687, 2024) – Act 181 was enacted on June 17, 2024, making major changes to Vermont’s land use planning and regulatory framework to strengthen place-based regulatory recognition and investments guided by regional planning and municipal action. In addition to changes to regional land use maps, the state designation program and Act 250 jurisdiction, the Act makes technical changes to local zoning pre-emptions made by the HOME Act of 2023.
