The bill proposes amendments to the General Laws in Chapter 22-7.4, which pertains to the Permanent Joint Committee on Naming All New Buildings, Bridges, Edifices, and Other State Constructions. Specifically, it seeks to rename the building formerly known as the Juvenile Detention Center, and later named the "Roosevelt Benton Youth Assessment Center," to the "Roosevelt Benton Center." The bill includes the insertion of new legal language to reflect this change, and the deletion of the previous name "Youth Assessment" from the title.

Additionally, the bill proposes to rename the Rhode Island Training School in the city of Cranston to “The Thomas C. Slater Training School” in honor of Rhode Island State Representative Thomas C. Slater. This change recognizes his contributions to the facility and the state. The bill removes the language that previously included the Roosevelt Benton Youth Assessment Center, a youth development center, and a female unit as part of the Rhode Island Training School. The act would take effect immediately upon passage.
