The resolution proposes the establishment of a special legislative commission in Rhode Island, composed of seventeen members, to conduct a comprehensive study of the state's healthcare workforce, specifically focusing on the education and retention of primary care providers. The commission will report back annually to the President of the Senate.

The commission will include members from the Rhode Island Senate and House of Representatives, deans from local medical schools, and representatives from various healthcare organizations and community health centers. The primary goal of the commission is to address the increasing demand for primary care providers in Rhode Island, where many residents currently lack access to a primary care provider, leading to over-reliance on emergency services.

The commission will be tasked with developing recommendations for enhancing primary care graduate medical education resources, assessing the distribution and retention of primary care clinicians, and ensuring that all Rhode Islanders have access to a usual source of care. It will also provide annual reports on the status of primary care education and resources in the state. The commission members will not receive compensation for their services, and state agencies are required to assist the commission in its work.
