The bill establishes a "School Opening and School Closing Student Safety Task Force" consisting of 12 members, including the Commissioner of Education or a designee, two public members appointed by legislative leaders, and nine public members appointed by the Governor. These public members will represent various educational associations and include two parents of students from both public and nonpublic schools. The task force is tasked with assessing student safety during school opening and closing times, focusing on practices related to student arrival and departure, traffic patterns, and the adequacy of personnel, including the potential need for municipal police presence.

The task force is required to organize within 60 days of the bill's effective date and will serve without compensation, although members can be reimbursed for necessary expenses. It will be supported by the Department of Education and is expected to issue a final report of its findings and recommendations to the Governor and the Legislature within one year of its organization. The task force will dissolve 30 days after submitting its final report.
