AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

State Budget & Session Speed: Rhode Island lawmakers wrapped the final day of the 2026 session with unusual speed, advancing measures aimed at limiting federal overreach and moving contentious items with little debate. Charter Schools: A three-year moratorium on new charter schools cleared the Senate and is headed to Gov. Dan McKee, alongside a plan to lower the statewide charter cap from 35 to 28. Cannabis Oversight: The RI Senate confirmed Michelle Reddish as the new Cannabis Control Commission chair, with the panel also reappointing Robert Jacquard. Housing Protections: McKee is set to sign a bill letting abuse survivors terminate rental leases early, with a process for lock changes when staying is safest. Public Safety Data: Rhode Island lawmakers voted to make traffic crash data public, pushing RIDOT toward a public portal. Opioid Alert: The state confirmed a powerful synthetic opioid, cychlorphine, has entered Rhode Island’s drug supply. Local Economy & Recovery: The SBA approved Economic Injury Disaster Loans for Rhode Island after the 2026 historic snowstorm, with an application deadline of March 10, 2027. Sports & Community: Providence’s FIFA Fan Zone at Station Park opens for the summer, with daily match watch parties and cultural programming. Education & AI: Nationally, lawmakers are still split on how to regulate AI, with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer urging “balanced” legislation.
