This resolution directs state leadership to form a task force that will study and propose new laws for people convicted of drug use, focusing on alternatives to prison sentences. The task force will have 15 members and will examine what other options might work better than imprisonment for drug ingestion offenses. This doesn't change existing law itself but asks the state to develop new legislative proposals based on the task force's findings.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
