AN ACT RELATING TO STATUTES AND STATUTORY CONSTRUCTION

Summary

HB 8501 updates many sections of Rhode Island’s Title 45. It lets the director of revenue end a failing budget commission and appoint a receiver with broad authority over a city, town, or fire district, and it expands salary and medical benefits for police, firefighters and related personnel who are injured or develop PTSD while responding to emergencies. The changes are intended to improve fiscal stability and protect first‑responders.
