There are no commissions that set the rules for RI or any other state. The ASMFC sets quotas for the states and the states can use whatever regs they like to catch their quotas. in RI the regs are set by the commissioner of DEM with consultation from the RIMFAC. Like Vic says, the RI Charter/party assn. got to the politicians and pushed for the current regs. Where was RISSA when all of this was going on?
