The bill amends Section 42-64-7.1 of the General Laws concerning the Rhode Island Commerce Corporation, specifically addressing the appointment process for the board of directors of the Rhode Island Airport Corporation. It requires that one of the seven directors be appointed by the governor after giving due consideration to a list of three individuals submitted by the mayor of Warwick. The governor will appoint the remaining six members without regard to this list. The bill specifies that one director shall be appointed for a term of one year, while two directors, including the one appointed from the mayor's list, shall be appointed for a term of two years. All directors serve without compensation, and the bill outlines the terms of appointment and provisions for filling vacancies. The act will take effect upon passage.
