AN ACT RELATING TO TOWNS AND CITIES -- DAM MANAGEMENT DISTRICTS

Summary

The legislation amends state law to shield the Pascoag Reservoir and Wilson’s Reservoir dam management districts from civil liability for any torts on their lake beds. It also lets the towns of Burrillville and Glocester exempt those lake‑bed properties from real and personal property taxes, and directs Burrillville to collect district fees using the same process as municipal taxes. The changes are intended to ease dam management and reduce financial strain on the districts.
