R.I. Gen. Laws § 31-10.3-37: Prohibition on masking convictions.

No representative of the district court or traffic tribunal may utilize the provisions of §§ 12-10-12, 12-18-3 or through any other programs, mask, defer imposition of judgment or allow an individual to enter a diversion program that would prevent a CDL driver’s conviction for any violation, in any type of motor vehicle, of a state or local traffic control law (except a parking violation) from appearing on the driver’s record, whether the driver was convicted for an offense committed in the state where the driver is licensed or in another state.
