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. It establishes 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, or in connection with a right to pass with carriages. The act aims to clarify and restrict the conditions under which footway rights can be claimed. It is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
