The Rhode Island Senate is expressing its deep regret as Senator Frank S. Lombardi retires from his position representing District 26 after twelve years of dedicated service. Senator Lombardi, a graduate of Classical High School, Providence College, and Northeastern University School of Law, is recognized for his legislative work, which includes advancing laws to protect children and workers, support families and small businesses, and promote government transparency and reform. He has sponsored significant legislation, such as barring third-party delivery services from listing businesses without consent, protecting employee wages, requiring background checks for court-appointed child advocates, and ensuring concussion-trained adults are present at youth sports events, among others.

In addition to his legislative achievements, Senator Lombardi has had a nearly three-decade-long legal career, served as a Probate Clerk/Judge, and has been actively involved in his community, particularly in the field of youth soccer, where he has been recognized multiple times and holds leadership positions. The Senate honors Senator Lombardi for his commitment to his constituents and the state, thanking him for his exemplary service and wishing him health, happiness, and success in his future endeavors. A certified copy of this resolution is to be sent to Senator Lombardi as a token of appreciation and recognition.
