House Bill No. 6841 establishes a working group tasked with studying various methods and programs aimed at reducing poverty rates among families in the state. The group will explore initiatives such as universal basic income, cash assistance programs, and educational and employment training programs, while also analyzing systemic barriers to poverty alleviation, including housing, transportation, and healthcare access. The working group will consist of members from various state agencies, legislative committees, and appointed experts in relevant fields. Key responsibilities include tracking economic mobility indicators, identifying short-term and long-term policy solutions, and determining funding sources for poverty reduction programs.

The bill includes several insertions and deletions to current law, notably the addition of a new section establishing the working group and specifying its objectives and membership. The language emphasizes the need for collaboration among state agencies to enhance program delivery efficiency. The working group is required to submit a preliminary report by June 1, 2026, and a final report by June 1, 2027, after which it will be dissolved. The fiscal impact of the bill is projected to be neutral, as it can be managed within existing staffing levels of the involved agencies.
