A commission has been appointed to prepare for a potential Constitutional Convention in Rhode Island. This development was reported by Christopher Shea in The Rhode Island Current on July 8, 2024.

He further noted, "It’s disappointing to see that [in] a state rich in colleges and universities, including a law school, there isn’t an actual expert in constitutional law on the commission."
