He sits on the House Finance Committee and is the chairman of its Public Safety Subcommittee. He is also a member of the House Municipal Government and Housing Committee.
During the 2021 session, Representative Barros sponsored a House resolution that asked Rhode Island’s municipalities to create five-member commissions to oversee the distribution of incoming federal COVID-19 funds. He also sponsored legislation which would establish a tax on sugary drinks, with a portion of the revenues generated used to expand access to nutritious food for low-income families by establishing a Retail SNAP Incentive Program that would incentivize consumption of healthy fruits and vegetables.
In 2020, Representative Barros sponsored legislation which would establish the Student Cloud Computing Privacy and Protection Act and he sponsored a bill to help out local brewers by allowing a manufacturer's license holder to authorize the sale of beverages for consumption on premises.
He was a co-sponsor of the 2019 passage of the Reproductive Privacy Act, which protects existing reproductive rights set forth under the landmark Roe v. Wade case from infringement at the federal level.
