On 5-2-23, Rhode Island Rep. Patricia Morgan brings attention to a clause included in H6083 Sub A. She notes that on page five, there’s a permissive allowance for planning boards to make decisions with a simple majority vote.

As an example, she points to West Warwick where only three people might show and passage of planning decision might be passed with two people voting in the affirmative.

The committees in the House of Representatives cannot passed a bill out of committee unless a quorum is present and as such, the same guidance and rules should apply to zoning and planning boards.
