The resolution proposes the establishment of a special legislative commission tasked with studying and providing recommendations to improve healthcare delivery for inmates and individuals awaiting trial in the custody of the Rhode Island Department of Corrections (RIDOC). The commission will consist of nine members, including three representatives from the Rhode Island House, the Director and Medical Director of RIDOC, the Rhode Island Attorney General, the Director of the Rhode Island Department of Health, and two representatives from an inmates' rights group.

The commission is expected to address significant healthcare concerns, particularly regarding mental health and substance use disorder treatments, which have been identified as areas of deficiency within RIDOC. It is required to conduct a comprehensive analysis of healthcare services in Rhode Island's correctional institutions and report its findings and recommendations to the House of Representatives by January 5, 2026.

The commission will be organized upon passage of the resolution and will operate without compensation for its members, with state departments required to provide necessary information to support the commission's work. The commission is set to expire on March 5, 2026.
