Summary
The bill adds a new section to Rhode Island's Access to Public Records law, declaring that traffic accident and improvement data are public records even if federal law deems them non‑discoverable in court. Public bodies can share the data but may include a written notice about the federal usage limits. This expands public access while preserving the protections of 23 U.S.C. § 407.
