The taskforce would consist of the Director of the Mayor’s Office of Operations, the Corporation Counsel, a Mayoral designee who is an expert in election law, an appointee of the Board of Elections, and an appointee of the Speaker. It would be required to issue its findings and recommendations to the Mayor and Speaker in a report no later than one year after the enactment of the local law.
