AN ACT RELATING TO COURTS AND CIVIL PROCEDURE--COURTS -- SUPERIOR COURT

Summary

The bill sets up a dedicated “land use calendar” in Rhode Island’s Superior Court to speed up appeals of zoning and development decisions, requiring all briefing to be filed within 60 days and limiting continuances. It also revises the Comprehensive Planning and Land Use Act so municipalities must keep their comprehensive plans and zoning ordinances aligned and report them to the state. The goal is to cut permitting delays that affect developers, local governments, and residents.
