Detail

The first New England state to join. H 5067 passed on June 26, 2025 and took effect without the Governor's signature. It is codified at RIGL chapter 5-64.2, whose history line records P.L. 2025, ch. 202, § 1 — the public-law chapter that closes this entry. A Senate companion, S 0345, cleared the same day.
