Rhode Island S3301 authorizes municipalities to declare emergencies for the construction and temporary use of Supportive and Functional Emergency Units (SAFE Units). These units, designed for people experiencing homelessness, are exempt from state fire and building codes. The emergency declaration, valid for 60 days and renewable, must be approved by the municipal council. The bill also mandates reports to the governor and state officials on the emergency's nature and the number of individuals served.
