The bill amends the General Laws in Chapter 42-57 entitled "Fort Adams Foundation," specifically sections 42-57-1 and 42-57-3. The amendments include changes to the purpose and composition of the Fort Adams Foundation. The purpose of the foundation is expanded from focusing on the historical Fort Adams structure to encompass the broader Fort Adams State Park. Additionally, the bill modifies the organization of the foundation by including a representative of the division of parks and recreation appointed by the director of the department of environmental management. The number of public members appointed by the governor is reduced from four to three.

The bill also outlines the appointment process and terms for the foundation's members, with initial terms of one, two, and three years, followed by three-year terms thereafter. It removes the requirement for all appointed members of the foundation to cease being members as of the effective date of the act. The bill stipulates that if the senate is not in session when the act takes effect, the governor may make temporary appointments until the senate reconvenes. The act is set to take effect upon passage, and it also includes a provision to replace a public member with a representative from the division of parks and recreation.
