END GUN VIOLENCE TASK FORCE

The bill was amended to shift administrative support from the Criminal Justice Information Authority to the Department of Human Services, which now has a dedicated Office of Firearm Violence Prevention. The composition of the Task Force was significantly altered to include legislative leaders and the Illinois State Police, while removing several specific categories of appointees, including the Illinois Housing Development Authority, various elected officials, and representatives from non-profit organizations and news media. These changes streamline the task force's membership to primarily include legislative leadership and key state agencies focused on public safety and human services.
