The New Jersey Reparations Task Force bill establishes a task force within the Department of State to study and propose reparations for African-Americans in New Jersey. Comprising 11 members—four legislators and seven public members—appointed by the Governor and legislative leadership, the task force will investigate the historical context of slavery, the ongoing effects of systemic racial discrimination, and the state's role in these injustices. It is mandated to hold at least six public meetings across the state to gather input from community leaders and the public.

The task force's responsibilities include identifying documentation related to slavery, recommending educational initiatives, and proposing remedies for injustices faced by African-Americans. It is required to issue an interim report within 12 months and a final report within 24 months of its initial meeting, after which it will be dissolved. The Governor will convene the first meeting no later than the first day of the third month following the bill's enactment, ensuring that the task force engages with communities in various locations, including Camden, Paterson, Newark, New Brunswick, Atlantic City, and Trenton.
