This bill proposes a bond measure for the State of Rhode Island to issue up to $36 million in general obligation bonds, subject to voter approval. The funds raised through these bonds will be allocated to various projects related to the Boys and Girls Clubs of Rhode Island, including renovations and upgrades to facilities across multiple locations such as Newport County, Cumberland-Lincoln, East Providence, Pawtucket, Providence, and Warwick. The projects aim to enhance safety, accessibility, and programming for youth, including the establishment of a Neurodivergent Boys & Girls Club designed to serve children with diverse needs.

The bill outlines the procedures for the issuance of bonds, detailing the roles of the general treasurer and the governor in approving and managing the bond sales. It specifies that the bonds will be tax-exempt and will carry the full faith and credit of the state. Additionally, the bill allows for the acceptance of federal assistance and private funds to support the projects. Sections 1, 2, 3, 11, 12, and 13 of the act would take effect upon passage, while the remaining sections would take effect only after the state board of elections certifies that a majority of voters have approved the bond measure.
