AI Summary
This bill extends the life of the Cold Case Task Force, a group within the Department of Public Safety (the state agency responsible for law enforcement and public safety) that investigates unsolved homicides, until September 1, 2039, and allows the Executive Director of the Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA), the state agency responsible for overseeing regulatory agencies, to appoint additional members to the task force beyond the current sixteen. It also changes how DORA conducts its "sunset review," which is a process where state agencies and programs are periodically evaluated to determine if they should continue to exist, by moving the review to a different statutory section and updating the repeal date of the task force from 2026 to 2039.
