The bill amends Section 31-3-5 of the General Laws regarding the registration of vehicles, specifically outlining the grounds for refusal of registration. It introduces new language that allows any city, town, state, and/or agency of a municipality or the state to report unpaid fines of $200 or more to the division of motor vehicles as a basis for denying vehicle registration. The bill specifies that the vehicle may be reported as having unpaid fines in the aggregate, and the city, town, or state agency requesting the denial of registration must provide this information.

The act is set to take effect upon passage.
