Senate Bill 404 establishes a Task Force on Missing and Murdered African American Women and Girls, which will be created by the attorney general. The task force will consist of members with expertise in crime victims' rights and violence protection, including legislators, law enforcement representatives, and advocates from organizations serving African American women and girls. The task force is tasked with examining systemic causes of violence against this demographic, developing methods for data collection, and proposing policies to reduce violence and support victims. A report detailing their findings and recommendations is due to the legislature by December 15, 2026.

To support the task force's operations, the bill includes a fiscal provision that increases the budget for the Department of Justice by $80,200 for the 2025-26 fiscal year and $99,500 for the 2026-27 fiscal year, allowing for the hiring of one full-time equivalent (FTE) project position dedicated to the task force. The task force will convene within 30 days of its establishment and will meet at least quarterly, with the possibility of additional meetings as needed. It is set to terminate upon the submission of its report or by January 1, 2027.
