The bill proposes an amendment to Chapter 42-13 of the General Laws, specifically adding a new section that mandates the Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT) to restore, reconstruct, and refurbish the Stone Bridge abutment in Portsmouth. This action is necessary due to the partial collapse of the abutment into the Sakonnet River in 2019, which led to the closure of the area for public safety. The bill also requires the RIDOT to actively seek federal, state, and other public funding sources to finance the repair work.

Additionally, the bill instructs the RIDOT to collaborate with the Division of Parks and Recreation within the Department of Environmental Management to clean, maintain, and manage the adjacent property known as "Teddy's Beach." The ultimate goal outlined in the bill is to prepare the Stone Bridge abutment and Teddy's Beach for a potential future transfer to the town of Portsmouth. The act would become effective immediately upon passage.
