Who may be designated as the 'Director' for purposes of the Rhode Island workers' compensation law?

In Rhode Island workers’ compensation law, the term “Director” refers to the head of the Department of Labor and Training, or someone the Director designates to act in that role. This aligns with how the statute assigns the administration and oversight of workers’ compensation to the Department of Labor and Training, not to other state offices. The other offices listed (Secretary of State, State Auditor, Commissioner of Insurance) do not hold this designation in the workers’ compensation framework, so they are not the official “Director.” Therefore, the correct designation is the director of labor and training or his/her designee.
