The resolution establishes a special legislative commission consisting of eleven members to address the ongoing flooding issues of the Pawtuxet River in Rhode Island. The commission will include representatives from the House of Representatives, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, local homeowners and business owners, as well as officials from the Rhode Island Emergency Management Agency, FEMA, the Warwick Sewer Authority, and the Department of Environmental Management. The commission's primary objective is to study the flooding situation, which has been exacerbated by recent heavy rains and has caused significant damage to local neighborhoods, and to propose potential solutions such as infrastructure improvements, community preparedness initiatives, and revised land use planning.

The commission is tasked with reporting its findings and recommendations to the House of Representatives by January 2, 2026, and will dissolve on March 2, 2026. Members of the commission will serve without compensation, and state departments are required to provide necessary support and information to facilitate the commission's work. The resolution emphasizes the importance of addressing the flooding for the safety and well-being of the affected communities and future generations.
