R.I. Gen. Laws § 44-52-5 — Set-off for delinquent provider assessment. [Contingent repeal — See notes following § 44-52-1.]

If a provider shall fail to pay a provider assessment within thirty (30) days of its
due date, the tax administrator may request any agency of state government making
payments to the provider to set off the amount of the delinquency against any payment
due the provider from the agency of state government and remit the sum to the tax
administrator. Upon receipt of the set-off request from the tax administrator, any
agency of state government is authorized and empowered to set off the amount of the
delinquency against any payment or amounts due the provider. The amount of set-off
shall be credited against the provider assessment due from the provider.
