Bill overview
This bill establishes the ‘New Jersey Reparations Task Force’ to research and develop proposals for reparations to address the ongoing harms caused by New Jersey’s role in slavery and subsequent systemic racial discrimination. The task force will examine the state’s history of perpetuating inequality and recommend remedies to address generational injustices impacting Black communities. It aims to investigate the lasting effects of slavery and related discriminatory practices, such as redlining and unequal education, and propose ways to achieve racial equity and justice in New Jersey.
