The bill amends Section 42-64-7.1 of the General Laws concerning the Rhode Island Commerce Corporation, specifically addressing the composition and appointment of the board of directors for the Rhode Island Airport Corporation. It establishes that one of the seven directors must be appointed by the governor from a list of three individuals submitted by the mayor of Warwick. The governor will appoint the remaining six directors without regard to the list provided by the mayor.

The terms of appointment for the directors are specified as follows: one director will serve a term of one year; two directors, one of whom will be the individual appointed from the list submitted by the mayor of Warwick, will serve a term of two years; and three directors will be appointed for terms of three years. All board members will serve without compensation, and any vacancies will be filled by the governor with the advice and consent of the Senate.

This act will take effect upon passage.
