On Jan. 31, 2024, California lawmakers introduced a first-in-the-nation reparations package. The set of bills aims to reverse the damage done by centuries of racist policies towards Black Americans.

Before the set of bills were introduced, the State of California put together a task force that looked into what form reparations would be considered, how expansive it would be, plus how to move forward with implementing them — if it gets to move forward.

The statewide task force submitted an extensive report with a list of recommendations.

Some areas the report plans to address are:

who would be eligible
form of payment
how California plans to pay
what programs will be recommended to address slavery's long-lasting damages
