Additionally, the task force is required to submit a report by January 15, 2027, detailing its findings and recommendations, which may include proposed legislation. The task force will be administratively supported by the Legislative Coordinating Commission and is set to expire on June 30, 2027. The bill also includes an appropriation of funds from the general fund to support the task force's activities in fiscal year 2026.
