The resolution SR 2940 proposes the establishment of a special legislative commission in Rhode Island, consisting of nineteen (19) members, to study and provide recommendations regarding Juvenile Hearing Boards. The commission will evaluate current practices of state and municipal Juvenile Hearing Boards established pursuant to 8-10-23.1 or 8-10-23.2. Its primary objectives include identifying best practices, assessing coordination and training opportunities, and developing recommendations for potential revisions to state law.

The commission is required to report its findings and recommendations to the Senate by November 30, 2027, and will expire on December 31, 2027. Members of the commission will serve without compensation, and state departments and agencies are expected to provide necessary support and information to facilitate the commission's work.
