# Are there any new marijuana DUI laws in Rhode Island for 2026?

Senate Bill S2970 was introduced in the 2026 legislative session to update penalties and add ignition interlock requirements, but its passage status is not confirmed as of June 2026. Rhode Island also extended the lookback period for prior DUI convictions from 5 years to 10 years starting July 1, 2025, which affects sentencing for repeat marijuana DUI offenders.
