The bill amends Section 34-7-4 of the General Laws in Chapter 34-7, which pertains to property rights related to possession and prescription. The new legal language inserted into the law specifies that no right of footway can be acquired by prescription or adverse use, except within one hundred (100) yards of the Pawtuxet River in the cities of Warwick and Cranston. Additionally, the right to pass with carriages is also exempt from this restriction.

The act aims to clarify and limit the circumstances under which a right of footway can be claimed, thereby protecting property rights in the specified areas. The changes will take effect immediately upon passage of the bill.
