The task force will identify and review relevant state laws, regulations, and administrative directives, examine the connection between the low unemployment rate and welfare eligibility requirements, propose new eligibility requirements based on updated economic and labor statistics, and develop recommendations to reduce the number of citizens on welfare while maintaining a low unemployment rate. The task force will submit a report, including any proposed legislation and regulations, to the state legislature within 12 months of the bill's passage.
