(a) The Rhode Island Economic Development Corporation Act. Except as otherwise expressly provided by this chapter, the corporation shall have the powers necessary to accomplish the purposes set forth in chapter 64 of this title and shall in the exercise of those powers conform with the obligations and requirements of chapter 64 of this title, and unless this chapter provides or the context indicates otherwise, the provisions of this chapter shall be considered in a manner consistent with the provisions of chapter 64 of this title. The corporation shall be, in the manner set forth this chapter, a subsidiary of the economic development corporation notwithstanding the requirements of § 42-64-7.1, and this chapter shall be deemed fully satisfactory for purposes of § 42-64-7.1 as necessary to effectuate the provisions of this chapter.
