Section 16-16-6 of the Rhode Island General Laws was enacted in 1948 but has a long history of amendments, so it has evolved over time. The most recent amendment was in 2008. Do see the changes over time, it would be necessary to check each one. Here is the list:

P.L. 1948, ch. 2101, § 3; P.L. 1951, ch. 2830, § 6; G.L. 1956, § 16-16-6; P.L. 1963, ch. 189, § 1; P.L. 1967, ch. 158, § 1; P.L. 1970, ch. 112, art. 8, § 1; P.L. 1972, ch. 92, § 1; P.L. 1981, ch. 14, § 1; P.L. 1982, ch. 288, § 1; P.L. 1983, ch. 288, § 1; P.L. 1999, ch. 487, § 1; P.L. 2008, ch. 100, art. 38, § 3

You can research the Rhodes Island Public Laws (P.L.) online back to 1994, so that's where you might start:
