Requires impoundment of license plates for drivers arrested for operating while license is suspended, revoked, or cancelled.

Rhode Island S2403 mandates that police officers confiscate the license plates of vehicles when the owner is arrested for driving with a suspended, revoked, or cancelled license due to refusal to submit to a chemical test or for operating under the influence. The impoundment lasts for at least 90 days, unless charges are dropped or dismissed, or the duration of any imposed sentence. The court may issue temporary substitute plates if impoundment would cause undue hardship to dependents of the offender.
