This bill would require the creation of a Marshall Plan for Moms task force to study, develop and issue proposals and recommendations on how to support working mothers and caregivers, particularly in light of the issues that have become more acute due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The task force would be composed of the Executive Directors of the City’s Commission on Gender and the Office for Economic Opportunity, the Commissioners of Citywide Administrative, the Office of Labor Relations and the Department of Social Services, as well as three members appointed by the Mayor and one member appointed by the Speaker of the Council. The task force would be required to submit a report within one year of the task force’s, including recommendations for legislation, policy and best practices relating to supporting working mothers and a summary of information the task force considered in formulating its recommendations. The task force would terminate 180 days after the report is submitted.
