AL HJR34

Establishes the Crime Clearance Data Task Force to study crime clearance rates in Alabama, their impact on deterrence, and gaps in crime data reporting

Task force membership includes 12 members: legislators from both chambers and parties, law enforcement representatives, a district attorney, circuit judge, county commissioner, and mayor appointed by various professional associations and legislative leaders

Task force must hold its first meeting by May 1, 2026, and submit a report with findings and legislative recommendations to the Legislature by November 1, 2026, after which it will dissolve

Legislative members receive compensation, per diem, and travel expenses; non-legislative members serve without compensation but may be reimbursed for meeting expenses

Appointing authorities must coordinate to ensure task force membership reflects racial, gender, geographic, urban, rural, and economic diversity of the state
