DISCRIMINATION ON THE BASIS OF
CLOTHING
OR CLUB MEMBERSHIP IS ILLEGAL
Rhode Island General Laws, Section
11-24-1, (1956, as amended), provides that "All persons within
the jurisdiction of this state shall be entitled to the full
and equal accommodations, advantages, facilities and
privileges of any place of public accommodation, resort or
amusement subject only to the conditions and limitations
established by law and applicable alike to all persons."
Further, any persons aggrieved by any violation of this
statute has the right to petition the Rhode Island Commission
on Human Rights to induce compliance. RL Gen. Laws Section
11-24-4 (1956, as
amended).
The Supreme Court of the United States has ruled in the
case of Cohen v. California, 403 U.S. 15 (1971), that persons
have the constitutional right under the First Amendment to
wear clothing which displays writing or designs. In addition,
the right of an individual to freedom of association has long
been recognized and protected by the United States Supreme
Court Thus, a person's right to wear the clothing of his
choice, as well as his right to belong to any club or
organization of his choice is constitutionally protected, and
persons or establishments who discriminate on the basis of
clothing or club membership may be subject to
lawsuit.

2008 SESSION
The
Education Bill was signed into law by the
Governor on July 1. This Bill with the combined efforts of the
Rhode Island Motorcycle Association and the very helpful
Lobbyist for Harley Davidson will allow outside contractors to
offer Rider Education for first time motorcycle licensees. Up
until now only the State Community College could offer the
mandated Riders Education Program for license purposes. This
was a three year project from its first conception, through
its many rewrites and then finally its passing.
THEY MAY WEAR US DOWN BUT DON'T LET THEM WEAR
YOU OUT.
