Summary
The bill amends Rhode Island’s arrest law to make it illegal for anyone in the custody of the Department of Corrections to use force or a weapon to resist a lawful request or directive from a corrections officer. Violations are punishable by up to a $500 fine, up to one year in jail, or both. It expands existing rules that already prohibit resisting arrest by peace officers.
