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 and aims to address existing concerns regarding healthcare services, particularly for incarcerated individuals requiring medical, mental health, and substance use disorder treatments.

The commission is required to conduct a comprehensive analysis of healthcare services within RIDOC 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 have the authority to gather necessary information from state departments and agencies. It is set to expire on March 5, 2026, and its members will serve without compensation.
