Bill > H7228

This resolution extends the reporting and expiration dates for a special legislative commission tasked with studying and recommending the creation of a statewide whole-home repairs program, which aims to help homeowners with necessary home improvements. Originally, the commission was supposed to report its findings by January 5, 2026, and its work was set to conclude on August 30, 2026. However, this resolution pushes the reporting deadline to June 30, 2026, while keeping the commission's expiration date of August 30, 2026, allowing it more time to complete its study and make recommendations. Additionally, the resolution updates the commission's composition by replacing the Executive Director of Rhode Island Housing with the Secretary of the Rhode Island Department of Housing, or their designated representative, to ensure the most relevant state housing official is involved in this important initiative.
