Task force sets public-comment timeline, circulates draft and approves meeting formalities
Summary
Staff announced a two-week public comment window and a public testimony slot at the April 29 meeting; the task force approved the agenda and previous meeting minutes and adjourned. Staff will circulate the draft report and outreach flyer and asked members to share contacts for outreach.
Task force staff outlined a short public-comment schedule and the mechanics for receiving feedback on the draft recommendations.
Anna Brawley said staff would post the draft to the Legislature’s website and run a two-week public-comment period; she stated the window would run “starting Monday, the 20 first, until Monday, May 5,” and said the April 29 meeting would include a public-comment slot for testimony if comments were submitted to be included in the packet by April 28. Staff requested members identify organizations and networks to which they could distribute the flyer and draft. Seth, staff support, said typical public‑testimony timers are two to three minutes per speaker; the task force discussed allowing out‑of‑state commenters but focusing outreach on substantive, technical feedback rather than generic support or opposition.
On routine agenda business, the task force formally approved the meeting agenda (motion moved by Dr. J. Molina; second recorded as Laurie) and approved the previous meeting’s minutes (moved by Anne Ringstead; second Justin Heminger). The meeting adjourned after members voted to close the session.
Ending: Staff will circulate the edited draft report and outreach materials to the full group, collect suggested outreach contacts, and accept written public comments through the stated comment period.
