The bill proposes amendments to the General Laws in Chapter 22-7.4, specifically sections 22-7.4-105 and 22-7.4-111, which pertain to the naming of state buildings and facilities. The bill includes language to change the name of the building formerly known as the Juvenile Detention Center, and later named the "Roosevelt Benton Youth Assessment Center," to simply the "Roosevelt Benton Center." This change is reflected by the insertion of new language and the deletion of the words "Youth Assessment" from the current name. The facility is located on the Pastore Complex in Cranston, Rhode Island, with the bill also correcting the preposition from "in" to "on" and removing the specific mention of "Cherrydale Court."
Additionally, the bill renames the Rhode Island Training School in Cranston to "The Thomas C. Slater Training School," in honor of State Representative Thomas C. Slater's contributions to the facility and the state. This change is indicated by the insertion of the new name and the deletion of the previous description of the facility, which included the Roosevelt Benton Youth Assessment Center, a youth development center, and a female unit. The bill states that these amendments will take effect immediately upon passage.
