On January 9, 2006, the New Jersey Legislature passed Law 294, which established the Safe Haven Awareness Promotion Task Force.  The Task Force’s main responsibility was to review, analyze and evaluate the efficacy of the Safe Haven outreach efforts conducted by the department in getting the message out about Safe Haven.   The Task Force submitted their formal report to the Governor and Legislature in September 2007, detailing their findings and recommendations.

The Governor appointed a total of 16 members, 11 of which were public members.  This Task Force was comprised of experts in their fields, including, child advocates, health professionals, school administrators, and other government employees.
