AI Summary
This bill amends existing Rhode Island General Laws to allow trucks with a gross vehicle weight, which is the total weight of the vehicle and its cargo, of eight thousand five hundred pounds (8,500 lbs.) or less to be registered as automobiles and receive passenger registration license plates, rather than being exclusively classified as trucks. This change will take effect immediately upon its passage.
