The resolution establishes a special joint legislative commission in Rhode Island, consisting of thirteen members, to evaluate and recommend potential changes to the regulatory frameworks governing alcoholic beverages and recreational cannabis. This initiative arises from concerns regarding safety, authenticity, and labor protections within these industries, highlighting the need to update existing laws to better serve all stakeholders involved. The commission will include members from both the House and Senate, as well as representatives from relevant regulatory and industry organizations.

The commission is tasked with assessing Titles 3 and 21 of the Rhode Island General Laws, specifically focusing on the regulations surrounding alcoholic beverages and recreational cannabis. It is required to report its findings to the General Assembly by January 7, 2026, and will dissolve on March 7, 2026. The resolution also stipulates that the commission members will not receive compensation for their services and that state departments must provide necessary support to facilitate the commission's work.
