Building on the success of the shoreline access bill in 2023, Representative Cortvriend and Senator Gu have introduced a package of bills that will give the CRMC and municipalities more tools to preserve historic rights-of-ways so that every Rhode Islander can enjoy them.
The three bills would increase disclosure of shoreline access rights and conditions when buying an oceanfront property, allow towns to preserve recreation easements on abandoned roads, and allow the Coastal Resources Management Council to designate historical footpaths as rights-of-way.
We need strong testimony to keep momentum going on shoreline access. You can:
- Use this form to ask your State Representative and State Senator to support the bills
- This form *should* also copy your email to House Judiciary committee where the bills are being heard. If you would like, you can still send public comment to housejudiciary@rilegislature.gov and include the bill numbers in the subject line.
- This form *should* also copy your email to the Senate Judiciary committee where the bills are being heard. If you would like, you can still send Senate testimony to slegislation@rilegislature.gov and include the bill numbers in the subject line.
