The resolution H 7031 creates a special joint legislative study commission to examine safe staffing ratios in hospitals. This commission will consist of fifteen (15) members, including representatives from both the Rhode Island House and Senate, hospital direct care staff, nursing organizations, the Department of Health, the Attorney General's office, patient advocacy groups, and labor unions. The primary objective of the commission is to conduct a comprehensive study and provide recommendations to the General Assembly regarding safe staffing ratios in hospitals.

The commission is required to meet and organize promptly after the resolution's passage, selecting a chairperson and vice-chairperson from its members. It will report back to the General Assembly on or before September 1, 2027, and is set to expire on January 30, 2028. The commission will operate without compensation for its members and will rely on state departments for necessary support and information.
