SJR 112 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes task force on missing women and girls who are Black, Indigenous, or people of color.

SJR 112 establishes a 15-member task force to address the under-reporting and lack of attention to missing and murdered Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) women and girls in New Jersey. The task force, including state agency leaders and community representatives, will develop culturally competent first responder training, create prevention education materials for BIPOC communities, and recommend strategies for collecting and sharing data on these cases. It will also identify high-risk locations and design a statewide public awareness campaign. The task force must submit findings and recommendations to the Governor and Legislature within 18 months of its formation.
