AN ACT RELATING TO STATE AFFAIRS AND GOVERNMENT -- RHODE ISLAND COMMERCE CORPORATION

This bill amends the laws governing the Rhode Island Commerce Corporation to change how one of its directors is selected. Specifically, it requires that one of the seven directors of the Rhode Island Airport Corporation be appointed by the mayor of Warwick. The legislation focuses on adjusting the appointment process for a specific subsidiary rather than creating new policies or funding. This change directly affects the governance structure of the airport corporation by shifting one director's appointment authority from the state to a local official.
