How long does a Rhode Island license suspension last after a chemical test refusal?

For a first refusal, 6 to 12 months. For a second refusal within 10 years, 1 to 2 years (a flat 2 years if the refused test was a blood test). For a third refusal within 10 years, 2 to 5 years. The lookback was 5 years until P.L. 2024, ch. 217 and ch. 218 doubled it to 10, effective July 1, 2025. The exact duration is set by the Rhode Island Traffic Tribunal magistrate or District Court judge based on the circumstances and any aggravating factors.
