AN ACT RELATING TO CRIMINAL OFFENSES -- WEAPONS

Summary

The bill adds a new section to Rhode Island's weapons laws that lets applicants denied a concealed‑carry permit request an informal reconsideration meeting and, if still denied, appeal to superior court for a trial de novo. It limits public access to the proceedings unless the applicant asks for openness and allows prevailing applicants to recover fees in certain cases. The measure aims to give denied applicants a clearer, faster path to challenge licensing decisions.
