AI Summary
This bill officially renames the new Sakonnet River Bridge (Rhode Island Bridge No. 250) on Route 24 connecting Portsmouth and Tiverton to the "Staff Sergeant Christopher Potts Sakonnet River Bridge" by amending Chapter 22-7.4 of the General Laws, which governs the naming of state buildings, bridges, and other constructions. The bill appears to be a tribute to Staff Sergeant Christopher Potts, likely a local servicemember, by memorializing his name on this important transportation infrastructure. The legislation is straightforward, simply inserting the new name into the existing legal code, and will take effect immediately upon its passage by the Rhode Island General Assembly.
