The task force, composed of bipartisan legislative members and appointees from various sectors including law enforcement, legal aid, victim advocacy, and individuals with lived experience, will review current laws and practices affecting emerging adults at all stages of the criminal justice process, from arrest to reentry, and will hold public meetings in different regions of the state.
