LEGISLATIVE TASK FORCE ON DEMOGRAPHIC RESEARCH AND REAPPORTIONMENT

legislature hereby finds and declares that: (i) there is a need for intensive and thorough legislative study, research and inquiry into the techniques and methodology to be used by the bureau of the census of the United States commerce department in carrying out the decennial federal census to be taken in the year nineteen hundred ninety; (ii) a technical plan will be needed to meet the requirements of a legislative timetable for a reapportionment of the senate and assembly districts and the congressional districts of the state based on such census; (iii) the task force herein continued is necessary to assist the legislature in the performance of its responsibilities and in the conduct of legislative research projects relating thereto; and (iv) the legislative advisory task force on reapportionment should be continued under the new name and with the powers and duties provided herein. The legislative task force on reapportionment is hereby continued as the legislative task force on demographic research and reapportionment, consisting of six members of whom two shall be appointed by the temporary temporary president of the senate, two by the speaker of the assembly and one each by the minority leader of the senate and the minority leader of the assembly. The appointments shall be of members of the respective houses of the legislature, except that one member appointed by the temporary president of the senate and one member appointed by the speaker of the assembly shall not be members of the legislature. A member of the senate appointed to the task force by the temporary president of the senate and a member of the assembly appointed to the task force by the speaker of the assembly shall be designated by each to serve as the co-chairmen of the task force. Each member of the task force who is not a member of the legislature shall be entitled to receive actual and necessary expenses incurred in the discharge of his duties and shall be entitled to compensation as determined by the co-chairmen within the appropriations available therefor, except that such member who is serving in such capacity in a transient, occasional and incidental manner, shall not be entitled to receive more

than the actual and necessary expenses incurred in the discharge of his duties.

The task force shall engage in such research studies and other activities as its co-chairmen may deem necessary or appropriate in the preparation and formulation of a reapportionment plan for the next ensuing reapportionment of senate and assembly districts and congressional districts of the state and in the utilization of census and other demographic and statistical data for policy analysis, program development and program evaluation purposes for the legislature.

The co-chairmen of the task force may employ such personnel, experts and consultants as may be necessary for the performance of its work and shall fix their compensation within the amounts appropriated therefor.

The primary function of the task force shall be to compile and analyze data, conduct research for and make reports and recommendations to the legislature, legislative commissions and other legislative task forces. In addition the task force may, with the approval of its cochairmen, provide such services and furnish such data as the co-chairmen may authorize to any department, division, board, bureau, commission or agency of the state, to any political subdivision of the state or any agency thereof or to any public benefit corporation on such terms and conditions as the co-chairmen may specify, including payment therefor.

The co-chairmen of the task force are hereby authorized and empowered to make and sign any agreements in the name and on behalf of the task force and to do and perform any acts that may be necessary, desirable or proper to carry out the powers, purposes and objectives of the task force and the provisions thereof. The task force, with the approval of its co-chairmen, may complete any contract executed and conduct any business undertaken or commenced by the legislature or the advisory task force on reapportionment pertaining connected with the reapportionment and readjustment or alteration of senate and assembly and congressional districts prior to the enactment of these provisions into law, and the same shall be completed and conducted in the same manner and under the same terms and conditions and with the same effect as if completed and conducted by the legislature or such advisory task force. The task force may meet within and without the state, hold public and private hearings and otherwise have all of the powers of a legislative committee under the legislative law.

The co-chairmen of the task force may request and receive from any court, department, division, board, bureau, commission or agency of the state or any political subdivision thereof such assistance and data as will enable the task force to properly carry out its powers and duties hereunder.

Any expenditure made from the appropriation herein con-
tained shall be paid upon the approval of the temporary
