H.583 (signed June 15, 2026, eff. July 1, 2026) newly restricts private-equity/hedge-fund control and requires majority physician ownership/governance of medical practices — a major shift from Vermont's historically permissive, no-common-law-CPOM stance. All 4 APRN roles (NP, CRNA, CNM, CNS/PMHNP) share one 2,400-hour/2-year transition-to-practice threshold (26 V.S.A. § 1614) — treat as newly in effect and monitor implementing guidance.
Esthetician
Licensed estheticians (26 V.S.A. ch. 6, about 600 training hours) practice independently within their scope under the Board of Barbers and Cosmetologists, with no physician involvement required. Whether laser and IPL devices are excluded from that scope, as in most states, is not spelled out for Vermont.

Whether a physician-owned entity is required for any delegated medical procedure an esthetician might perform was not confirmed for Vermont.Supervision ratio
