Rhode Island H8031 allows municipalities to request a one-time extension to update their comprehensive plans if they demonstrate active progress.
Rhode Island H8031 amends the Rhode Island Comprehensive Planning and Land Use Act to allow municipalities to request a one-time, state-approved extension for updating their comprehensive plans. This extension is granted if the municipality shows active progress, such as initiating the update process, engaging professional services, or conducting public outreach. During the extension period, the existing comprehensive plan remains in effect for all purposes. The extension cannot exceed twelve months, and the Rhode Island division of statewide planning determines active engagement.
