SB 3204 Rhode Island Senate · 2026 Regular Session

AN ACT TO VACATE THE FORFEITURE OR REVOCATION OF THE CHARTER OF THE CUMBERLAND LODGE #14, FRATERNAL ORDER OF POLICE

This bill allows the Cumberland Lodge #14 of the Fraternal Order of Police to regain its legal charter after it failed to file required annual reports for many years. To restore its status, the organization must submit all overdue reports by December 31, 2026, and pay the associated filing fees along with a penalty amount determined by the Attorney General. Once these conditions are met, the group will be treated as if the charter forfeiture never occurred, regaining all its rights and privileges. The law takes effect immediately upon passage.
