Rhode Island S2722 creates a legal cause of action for the replacement cost of a child restraint system damaged in a motor vehicle accident.

Rhode Island S2722 amends the state's General Laws to establish a cause of action for the replacement cost of a child restraint system that is in a motor vehicle at the time of an accident. The bill specifies that any person responsible for the collision is liable for the replacement value of the child restraint system, whether it is being used to transport a child or is unoccupied.
