JOINT RESOLUTION MAKING AN APPROPRIATION TO PAY CERTAIN CLAIMS

This bill authorizes the state to pay specific claims for vehicle damage caused by roadway debris and defects in Rhode Island. It allocates funds to compensate four individuals who suffered property damage while driving on state routes in East Providence, Newport, Cranston, and Warwick between 2023 and 2024. The legislation directs the state controller to issue payment orders from the general treasury to cover these expenses without requiring the governor's signature.
