The resolution extends the duration of a special legislative commission that was established to study the governance structure of Rhode Island's public education system. The commission, which was created by resolution No. 401 and became effective on June 24, 2022, is now authorized to continue its work and is required to submit a report to the House of Representatives and Senate by March 1, 2024. Following the submission of its report, the commission is set to expire on July 1, 2024.

The resolution also rescinds the previous reporting deadline that was established by resolution No. 401. The initial deadline for the commission to report its findings was March 1, 2023, but this has been extended by one year to allow for further study. The legislative council's explanation clarifies that the purpose of the resolution is to provide the commission with additional time to complete its examination of the public education system's governance and to report its recommendations.
