Revisions provide guidance on required voter registration opportunities at offices in the State providing public assistance and/or state-funded programs primarily serving persons with disabilities. Further amendments to the General Provisions include guidance to the public on how to facilitate public access to all public records that may be disclosed in accordance with RIGL § 38-2-1, et seq. Procedures are consistent with the proposed rules of the Executive Office of Health and Humans Services to ensure that all public records of DHS be available for public inspection and reproduction consistent with all applicable state and/or federal law, unless otherwise prohibited by a court of competent jurisdiction.
