CHILDREN: Creates the Task Force on Child Well-Being, Parental Rights, and Family Court Fairness
This bill amends HR 360 to include the director of the Governor's Office on Women's Policy as a member of the newly created Task Force on Child Well-Being, Parental Rights, and Family Court Fairness. The task force is designed to study issues related to children, parental rights, and the fairness of family court proceedings within the state. By adding this specific role to the committee, the legislation expands the group's composition without altering its primary purpose or functions. The change ensures that the perspective of the Governor's Office on Women's Policy is represented in the task force's work.
