§ 6003. Environmental justice State policy
It is the policy of the State of Vermont that no segment of the population of the
State should, because of its racial, cultural, or economic makeup, bear a disproportionate
share of environmental burdens or be denied an equitable share of environmental benefits.
It is further the policy of the State of Vermont to provide the opportunity for the
meaningful participation of all individuals, with particular attention to environmental
justice focus populations, in the development, implementation, or enforcement of any
law, regulation, or policy. (Added 2021, No. 154 (Adj. Sess.), § 2, eff. May 31, 2022.)
