160 R.I. Code R. 160-RICR-00-00-1.6
The Joint Committee on Legislative Services will review annually the office space requirements of legislative agencies, committees and commissions and assign and reassign space accordingly within its total allocation.
Whenever additional space becomes necessary to properly discharge legislative responsibilities, the Joint Committee on Legislative Services will negotiate with the State Division of Public Buildings to satisfy such needs. In the event that space requirements cannot be satisfied adequately in the opinion of the Joint Committee within the State House proper, the Joint Committee is authorized to conduct negotiations with private parties and to contract for space on such terms, as it deems proper.
