The bill amends Chapter 11-26 of the General Laws, which pertains to kidnapping, by introducing a new section titled "11-26-4. Attempted kidnapping of a minor." This new provision defines attempted kidnapping of a minor as any act taken towards committing the offense of kidnapping a minor, as outlined in § 11-26-1.4, but ultimately failing to complete the act.

Under this new section, individuals found guilty of attempting to kidnap a minor will be classified as felons and face a potential prison sentence of up to twenty years upon conviction. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage, thereby enhancing legal repercussions for those who attempt to commit this serious crime against minors.
