Creates a special motor vehicle registration plate for the Friends of the Historic Narragansett Towers.

RI Bill Summary: Narragansett Towers Special License Plate

This bill would create a special "vanity" license plate in Rhode Island for supporters of the Friends of the Historic Narragansett Towers, a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving the historic Narragansett Towers landmark in Narragansett, Rhode Island. Drivers who want to show their support for this historic site could choose to purchase this specialty plate instead of a standard Rhode Island license plate.

The bill primarily affects Rhode Island vehicle owners who want to display their connection to or support for the Narragansett Towers. Typically with specialty plates like this, drivers pay an additional fee beyond the standard registration cost, and a portion of that extra fee goes to the designated organization — in this case, the Friends of the Historic Narragansett Towers — to help fund their preservation efforts.

Currently, the bill has been introduced in the Senate and referred to the Senate Special Legislation and Veterans Affairs Committee, which has recommended it be held for further study. A hearing is scheduled for March 4, 2026. This means the bill has not yet been passed into law and is still in the early stages of the legislative process.
