The bill would amend the Government Code to establish the Family Violence Criminal Homicide Prevention Task Force within the Criminal Justice Division within the Office of the Governor (OOG). The task force would be composed of at least 22 members, as described in the bill. Members of the task force would be appointed by the governor. Certain task force members or individuals would be entitled to a per diem and reimbursement, as applicable. The bill would direct the task force to submit a written report to the Governor, Lieutenant Governor and Speaker of the House of Representatives not later than December 1, 2026.
