IMPORTANT. PLEASE NOTE: For the most recent legal version of all CRMC regulations and programs, please click here to access the RI Rules and Regulations Interface. The Secretary of State of Rhode Island is the legal repository for all state regulations and as such maintains this excellent web-based directory of any regulation, rule, policy, or description of procedures or practice requirements adopted by a state agency. The CRMC is required to file all changes to its program with the secretary of state.

The following is a list of all CRMC's regulatory and management programs. Some files are in PDF format and need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view and print them. If you require the free Acrobat Reader click here.
