 barriers affect the employment rate for  Black  and  Latinx  transgender
 persons; and
   (c)  to  determine what changes, if any, should be made to state poli-
 cies affecting the employment rate  for  Black  and  Latinx  transgender
 persons,  and  recommend  any legislation, rules or regulations it deems
 necessary to improve the employment rate and expand employment  opportu-
 nities for such persons.
   2.  The  department  of labor shall issue a report of its findings and
 recommendations to the governor, the speaker of  the  assembly  and  the
 temporary  president  of the senate and shall publish such report on its
 website within one year after the effective date of this act.
   § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
