Summary
The bill adds traffic accident and improvement data to Rhode Island's public records, even if federal law (23 U.S.C. § 407) would normally keep it hidden from court discovery. Public bodies must still honor the federal restrictions on how the data can be used and may provide written notice of those limits. The change takes effect immediately after the bill is signed.
