Amends the heading of § 11-47-60.1 to include the words "Dillon's Law."

## Plain-English Summary

This bill makes a simple naming change to an existing Rhode Island law related to weapons. Specifically, it adds the name "Dillon's Law" to the title/heading of an already-existing section of state law (§ 11-47-60.1) that deals with criminal offenses involving weapons. The actual text and legal content of the law itself would not change — only the heading or label at the top of that section would be updated to include this name.

Bills like this are often introduced to honor a specific person — likely someone named Dillon — who may have been affected by the issue the underlying law addresses. Named laws serve as a way for the state to memorialize individuals and raise public awareness about a particular issue, even when no substantive legal changes are being made.

This bill would affect the written form of Rhode Island's legal code in a very limited way. Everyday citizens, law enforcement, and legal professionals would see the new name "Dillon's Law" when referencing this section of the weapons statutes, but the rights, responsibilities, and penalties outlined in the law would remain exactly the same. Currently, the bill has been referred to the House Judiciary Committee, which has recommended holding it for further study rather than moving it forward immediately.
