2010,  and a final report of his or her findings, conclusions and recom-
mendations not later than January 1, 2011, and shall submit with his  or
her  reports  such legislative proposals as he or she deems necessary to
implement his or her recommendations.
  S 2. This act shall take effect on the one hundred eightieth day after
