The task force comprises nine members: two from the Department of Justice (DOJ) Criminal Division, two from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, two state or local law enforcement representatives, and three FBI employees. The task force must (1) study the prevalence and impacts of street racing, vehicle sideshows, and street takeovers; (2) develop best practices for a national approach and for state and local law enforcement to combat street racing; (3) develop and distribute educational materials on preventing and responding to street racing; and (4) coordinate federal, state, and local law enforcement responses to street racing. Not later than one year after enactment, the task force must report to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees on its progress. The section defines "street racing" as a race of two or more vehicles on a public road not designated for an official race and "vehicle sideshow" as an event where two or more individuals block or impede highway traffic for motor vehicle stunts, speed contests, exhibitions of speed, or reckless driving for spectators.
