Allows the Honorable Mayor Frank Picozzi to join Madeline Marie Hopkins and Cameron David Charron in Marriage on or about February 10, 2026, within the City of Warwick, Rhode Island.

Plain-English Summary

This bill is a special one-time authorization that allows Warwick Mayor Frank Picozzi to officially perform a wedding ceremony. Specifically, it permits him to marry Madeline Marie Hopkins and Cameron David Charron on or around February 10, 2026, in the City of Warwick, Rhode Island.

Under Rhode Island law, only certain individuals — such as judges, clergy, and authorized civil officials — are legally permitted to perform marriage ceremonies. Mayors do not automatically have this authority, so a special act of the state legislature is required to grant them this one-time permission. This bill has gone through the full legislative process, passing both the Rhode Island House and Senate before being signed into law by the Governor.

This bill directly affects only the three people named in it — the mayor and the couple getting married. It has no broader policy impact on Rhode Island residents. Bills like this are fairly routine in Rhode Island and are commonly passed as a courtesy to allow local elected officials to perform wedding ceremonies for constituents upon request.
