Bill > H7678

This joint resolution establishes a nine-member Special Joint Legislative Commission on City and Town Affairs, composed of appointees from legislative leadership, the Governor, and representatives from various types of municipalities, along with the Executive Director of the Rhode Island League of Cities and Towns (a non-profit organization representing municipal interests). The commission's primary goal is to improve how state and local governments work together by reviewing current policies, recommending ways to enhance municipal governance and collaboration, identifying and solving problems that hinder local government operations, and providing a platform for discussing proposed state laws that could affect cities and towns. The commission is tasked with delivering its findings and recommendations to the General Assembly by December 31, 2026, and will cease to exist on January 31, 2027.
