This resolution addresses the need for a comprehensive review of Rhode Island's educational system, particularly in relation to the development challenges faced by the state, such as lengthy local permitting processes, environmental challenges, and outdated zoning and planning regulations. To address these issues, the resolution proposes the creation of a special legislative commission.

The commission will consist of thirteen members, including representatives from various educational institutions, planning organizations, and the public sector, with the goal of studying and providing recommendations on how Rhode Island's educational system can offer degree or certificate programs to cultivate a workforce skilled in planning and related fields. The commission is tasked with reporting its findings to the House of Representatives by April 1, 2025, and will dissolve on June 30, 2025.
