AI Summary
This bill amends the Domestic Violence Fatality Review Act by changing the requirements for the Statewide Committee, which is a group that reviews domestic violence-related deaths. Specifically, it modifies the definition of a quorum, meaning the minimum number of voting members needed for the committee to officially conduct business, changing it from a fixed number of 7 to a simple majority of the current voting members. Additionally, the bill adjusts the deadlines for the committee's annual and biennial reports; the annual report, which details the committee's operations and activities, will now be due by September 1st each year instead of March 1st, and the biennial report, which analyzes data and makes recommendations for reducing domestic violence fatalities, will be due by June 1st of odd-numbered years instead of April 1st.
