Refreshed Rhode Island General Assembly Website Goes Live

Visitors to the newly refurbished website, RILegislature.gov, are now met by a clean looking, user friendly, and functional homepage.

“Our new website is aesthetically cleaner and easier to navigate. Our focus is to improve the website and make it easier for Rhode Islanders to engage with their Legislature,” said House Speaker K. Joseph Shekarchi and Senate President Dominick J. Ruggerio. “We think this site offers significant enhancements that will greatly benefit members of the public. This is the first major website update in decades.”

In regards to ‘Capitol TV’ (the streaming and on-demand video portion of the site) the archived broadcast content is now better organized, and will offer closed captioning.

A new ‘Getting Started’ page provides General Assembly schedules, how to find and track legislation, and various ways to participate in the legislative process.

New pages about House and Senate members make it easier to find each legislator’s news, biography, and contact information.

Also, the ‘Legislative Calendar’ section allows visitors to quickly access information on legislative sessions, committees, and commission meetings.

The State says that the website work is ongoing, with a longer-term overhaul being done in stages with additional improvements emerging throughout 2024.
