Bill > HB07180

This bill establishes a task force to comprehensively study the operations of the Social Equity Council, which appears to be a state-level entity. The task force will be composed of 12 members, including representatives from both legislative chambers (two members each from majority and minority leadership in the House and Senate), the state Comptroller, the Social Equity Council chairperson, and two members appointed by the Governor. Notably, legislative members can serve on the task force. The task force must have its initial appointments completed within 30 days of the bill's effective date, with the first meeting scheduled no later than 60 days after that date. The House Speaker and Senate President Pro Tempore will jointly select the task force's chairpersons, and administrative support will be provided by the joint standing committee responsible for consumer protection. By January 1, 2026, the task force is required to submit a detailed report of its findings and recommendations to the consumer protection committee, after which the task force will be dissolved. The bill's primary purpose is to conduct an in-depth review and assessment of the Social Equity Council's current operations, potentially to identify areas for improvement or refinement.
