R.I. Gen. Laws § 44-5-11.4 — Technology grants for property tax administration

The director of the department of revenue may establish a local grant-in-aid program
whereby cities and towns may purchase microcomputers to be used for the purpose of
property tax administration. The director shall also cause to be prepared and distributed
to all cities and towns that participate in the grant-in-aid program, a uniform “software”
application program which would adapt current state-of- the-art uses in property tax
administration.
