Rhode Island S3102 increases penalties for driving offenses resulting in serious bodily injury or death.

Rhode Island S3102 amends the state's General Laws to establish a single, increased range of penalties for driving offenses resulting in serious bodily injury or death. The bill specifies that drivers involved in accidents causing serious bodily injury or death must stop and remain at the scene. Penalties include imprisonment, fines, and mandatory alcohol or drug treatment. Repeat offenders face harsher penalties. The bill also mandates that licenses cannot be reinstated until the driver provides proof of financial responsibility and meets other conditions.
