SJR 39 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes the "Williams and Amenhotep New Jersey Task Force on Missing Persons."

SJR 39 establishes the "Williams and Amenhotep New Jersey Task Force on Missing Persons" to review and improve how New Jersey handles missing persons cases. The task force, composed of state officials (like the Attorney General and agency commissioners) and appointed members from law enforcement, child advocacy groups, and trafficking organizations, will examine current law enforcement responses statewide. Within 12 months, it must submit a report with findings on best practices and recommendations for changes to the Governor and Legislature. The task force will dissolve three months after submitting its report. This bill does not create new laws but mandates a study to identify potential improvements in missing persons investigations.
