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 toward committing the offense of kidnapping a minor, as outlined in section 11-26-1.4, but ultimately failing to complete the act.

Under this new section, individuals who attempt to commit the crime of kidnapping a minor will be guilty of a felony. Upon conviction, they may be punished by imprisonment for up to twenty (20) years. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon its passage.
