DEDICATED
FEDERAL
Summary of Legislation: The bill establishes the Task Force to Combat Racism as a Public Health Crisis
(task force). It specifies the duties of the task force. The bill requires the task force to make recommendations
to the General Assembly and the Governor: (1) concerning policies and programs that combat racism and
mitigate the effects of racism on individual and public health; and (2) identifying appropriate funding for the
policies and programs recommended by the task force. The bill requires the task force to issue a report before
November 1, 2022.
Effective Date: Upon passage.
Explanation of State Expenditures: The task force would be subject to the rules and policies governing
interim study committees and commissions as adopted by the Legislative Council. The 15-member task force
would be able to meet as many times as necessary during the 2021 and 2022 legislative interims. The most
recent Legislative Council resolution establishes an interim budget of $13,500 for study committees
consisting of 15 or fewer members.
The Legislative Services Agency would be required to staff the meetings of the task force. It is likely the
agency would be able to do so within existing resources.
