Amendment of Public Laws Chapters 256 to 1003
A dense set of statutory amendments reorganizes court divisions in Rhode Island. The text alters terms for clerks, appeals, exceptions, and the placement of appellate divisions, common pleas divisions, and supreme court references across numerous chapters, with many sections reworded to insert appellate or common pleas divisions and to drop references to the court of common pleas in favor of these divisions. The document signals continued updates to be continued next week.
