Requires the Governor to appoint at least 2 additional members to the Task Force who represent organizations that are current Section 14(c) certificate holders. Provides that the Director of Labor, or the Director's designee, shall serve on the Task Force in a non-voting, advisory capacity until July 1, 2025.
