This bill establishes Chapter 51 in Title 34 of the General Laws of Rhode Island, which pertains to public auctions of real estate. It mandates that public auctions conducted by any city or town for real estate or an interest therein must be held in person at the time and place specified in the legal advertisement, in accordance with existing Rhode Island statutes governing such sales, including the provisions of chapter 9 of title 44. The bill allows for exceptions, permitting electronic or remote auctions only if authorized by a court order from the Rhode Island Superior Court, following a hearing that determines that an in-person auction is not feasible under the specific circumstances of the case. This legislation will take effect immediately upon passage.
