The resolution extends the mandate of a special legislative commission that was initially established to study and review the cost and status of Rhode Island's state-owned, vacant, and abandoned properties. The commission is also tasked with providing recommendations for methods to mitigate the expenses associated with these properties. Originally created by resolution No. 295 and extended by resolution No. 341, the commission's reporting and expiration dates have been further extended, allowing it to continue its work and submit a report to the House of Representatives by May 30, 2025. Following the submission of its report, the commission is set to expire on June 27, 2025.

The legislative council's explanation clarifies that the purpose of the resolution is to allow the commission additional time to complete its study and formulate recommendations. By rescinding the previous reporting deadline established by resolution No. 341, the commission now has until the end of May 2025 to report its findings. This extension aims to ensure a thorough review of the state's vacant and abandoned properties and the development of effective strategies to reduce the financial burden they impose on the state.
