Vermont H0920 proposes the creation of a Citizens’ Assembly to make legislative recommendations on significant public concerns.

Vermont H0920 establishes the Vermont Citizens’ Assembly, a body of 150 residents selected through a sortition process. This Assembly would provide legislative recommendations to the Vermont General Assembly on issues of significant public concern. Participation is voluntary, and members would be compensated with a daily wage and reimbursed for expenses. The Assembly would operate independently, with a one-year term, meeting bi-monthly from mid-June to mid-November. Each iteration of the Assembly would determine the issue for the next term.
