The commission is tasked with analyzing issues such as access for underserved populations, public-private partnerships, and the integration of technology in non-traditional settings. Appointments must be made within 30 days of the bill's approval, and the group must submit its findings and recommendations to the Governor and Legislature within 180 days.
