The bill proposes the repeal of Section 42-143-1 of the General Laws, which pertains to the "Science and Technology Advisory Council." The current language establishing the council, which includes details about its membership and functions, is deleted. Specifically, the bill removes the provisions that outline the composition of the council, including the number of members, their appointments by various state leaders, and the lack of compensation for their services.

In its place, the bill inserts a new legal language that simply establishes the council without the detailed structure previously outlined. This change aims to eliminate one of two conflicting versions of the council's authorizing statute, thereby clarifying its structure. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
