What this bill would do

This bill aims to create a Congressional Task Force on Voting Rights of United States Citizen Residents of Territories of the United States. The task force would be part of the legislative branch and consist of 15 members from both the House of Representatives and the Senate. These members are to be appointed by leadership in coordination with various committee chairs and ranking members. The group is required to provide a status update to Congress within 180 days of enactment. Additionally, the task force must issue a report within one year regarding the consequences of political disenfranchisement and impediments to voting rights. The task force will conclude its work once the final report is issued.
