The bill proposes the complete repeal of Chapter 17-4.2 of the General Laws, which is titled "Agreement Among the States to Elect the President by National Popular Vote." This repeal eliminates the legal framework that allowed Rhode Island to participate in an interstate compact aimed at electing the President and Vice President of the United States through a national popular vote, rather than the traditional electoral college system. The specific legal language that is being deleted includes all articles and provisions related to the compact, including membership, voting rights, and the appointment of presidential electors.

By enacting this bill, Rhode Island will no longer be part of the agreement that sought to change the method of presidential elections. The act will take effect immediately upon passage, effectively removing any obligations or frameworks associated with the national popular vote initiative. This legislative change reflects a shift away from the previously established compact and reaffirms the state's commitment to the existing electoral college system for presidential elections.
