The bill proposes the repeal of Section 34-7-4 of the General Laws in Chapter 34-7, which currently states that no right of footway can be acquired by prescription or adverse use, except when it is claimed in connection with a right to pass with carriages. The new legal language inserted into the law, "Right of footway denied," signifies the removal of the existing prohibition against acquiring a right of footway through adverse possession. This change allows individuals to potentially gain such rights over time. The act will take effect immediately upon passage.
