The Harmony Commission will be made up of 27 child advocates, welfare experts, legal professionals, and state legislators, and will be required to issue a public report on its findings.

The primary objectives of the Harmony Commission are to:

Study how a child’s welfare and best interest considerations are handled in Care and Protection cases and Petition to Dispense with Care cases
Study how cases disproportionally impact children of color, immigrant children, children with disabilities, LGBTQ+ children, children who have experienced trauma, and poor children
Make recommendations on how we can better ensure the law balances the constitutional rights of parents with the best interest, wellbeing, and safety of children – particularly those who have experienced trauma
