The proposed legislation, General Assembly Raised Bill No. 5349, establishes a task force to study the operations of the Department of Consumer Protection. The task force will consist of various members appointed by legislative leaders and the Governor, including two members each from the House and Senate, as well as the Commissioner of Consumer Protection or their designee. The bill outlines that all initial appointments must be made within thirty days of the bill's passage, and the task force is required to hold its first meeting within sixty days. The administrative staff of the relevant joint standing committee will provide support to the task force.

The task force is mandated to submit a report detailing its findings and recommendations to the joint standing committee on consumer protection by January 1, 2027. The task force will dissolve upon submitting this report or on January 1, 2027, whichever occurs later. The bill introduces new legal language to establish this task force and does not propose any deletions from existing law.
