History of Section. P.L. 1995, ch. 32, § 1; repealed by P.L. 2021, ch. 124, § 4, effective July 2, 2021;

Plain English

Rhode Island General Laws § 34-37-4.4 was formally repealed by the state legislature in 2021 and no longer carries any operative legal effect. The provision was originally enacted in 1995 and was eliminated by two parallel legislative acts (P.L. 2021, ch. 124 and ch. 125), both effective July 2, 2021. Because the section has been repealed, it neither imposes requirements nor confers rights under current Rhode Island law.

Plain English — not legal advice.

For Property Managers

Property owners and managers should be aware that § 34-37-4.4 is no longer part of Rhode Island's active legal framework, having been repealed effective July 2, 2021. Compliant operators reviewing their policies for obligations under Rhode Island General Laws ch. 34-37 should look to the remaining, non-repealed sections of that chapter for current requirements. Relying on this section as a source of authority or obligation would be misplaced given its repeal.

For Tenants

Tenants should be aware that § 34-37-4.4 no longer exists as enforceable Rhode Island law, as it was repealed effective July 2, 2021. Any rights or protections that may have existed under this provision are no longer grounded in this section, and tenants seeking protections under Rhode Island General Laws ch. 34-37 should look to the provisions that remain in effect. Consulting a tenant-rights organization or legal aid service can help identify which current sections of ch. 34-37 may be relevant to a given housing situation.
