The bill amends Section 2 of Chapter 395 of the Public Laws of 2017, which pertains to the Rhode Island Commission for National and Community Service. The amendment includes a change in the commission's name, adding "d/b/a Serve RI" (doing business as Serve RI) to its title. It also modifies the composition of the commission's board of commissioners, reducing the number of voting members from twenty-five to no less than fifteen. These members are expected to have a commitment to public service and reflect the diversity of Rhode Island's population.

Further changes include the governor appointing all voting members and the chair of the commission from among these members. The initial terms of the commissioners are staggered, with subsequent appointments being made for three-year terms. The amendment also adds a new category of representative to the board—a representative of the volunteer sector. The bill outlines the commission's purposes, powers, and responsibilities, such as preparing a three-year national service plan, administering grants, and integrating service programs into the state's strategic service plan. The act will take effect upon passage.
