The Task Force is authorized to recommend potential remedies for past inequities, such as compensation or benefits for former landowners. The bill requires the Task Force to submit an interim report by December 15, 2025, and a final report by December 15, 2026, to various county and state entities. Task Force members will not receive compensation but can be reimbursed for expenses. The bill will be in effect from June 1, 2025, until June 30, 2027, after which it will automatically be abrogated.
