AN ACT RELATING TO COURTS AND CIVIL PROCEDURE -- COURTS -- PERMITTING VIRTUAL OR REMOTE COURT HEARINGS

Summary

The bill lets any court in Rhode Island conduct hearings, conferences, motions, or other appearances wholly or partially through virtual means. It gives parties, witnesses, and attorneys the right to appear by telephone or video, while courts can still require in‑person attendance when needed. Remote appearances are treated the same as in‑person ones.
