Summary

The bill establishes the Rhode Island Life Science Hub as a separate public corporation that functions as a state instrumentality for life‑science development. It creates a 16‑member board—15 members appointed by the governor (seven public and eight institutional directors) plus two ex‑officio members—and sets qualifications, terms, and voting rules. The hub will certify life‑science firms and allocate investment‑fund resources, with the chair required to be present for those decisions.
