The bill proposes the establishment of the West Virginia Justice Reinvestment Task Force, which will be tasked with conducting a comprehensive analysis of the state's adult justice system. The task force will focus on various aspects of the justice system, including bail and pretrial services, sentencing and release policies, supervision practices, correctional programming, behavioral health, reentry supports, and services for crime victims. The task force will consist of 19 members, including representatives from the Governor's office, the Supreme Court, the Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation, and various public stakeholders, such as victims of crime, law enforcement, and mental health representatives.

The bill outlines the responsibilities of the task force, including the requirement to submit an electronic progress report by July 1, 2025, and a final report with recommendations by January 15, 2026. The task force will hold its first meeting within 30 days of the bill's effective date and will meet at least quarterly thereafter. The task force is set to terminate one year after submitting its final report. The Director of the Division of Administrative Services will provide administrative support and coordinate with the Council of State Governments Justice Center to assist in achieving the task force's goals of enhancing public safety and managing corrections costs.
