Provides that on or before September 1, 2017 and each subsequent odd-numbered year, all State agencies shall produce a report for the Task Force that describes the employment restrictions that are based on criminal records for each occupation under the agency's jurisdiction and that of its boards, if any. Provides that the Task Force shall report to the Governor and the General Assembly its findings, including recommendations as to any employment restrictions that are not reasonably related to public safety, before January 1 of each even-numbered year beginning in 2018.
