Kristin Riley v. the Narragansett Pension Board

Summary

The Rhode Island Supreme Court vacated the trial justice’s declaration that the town’s pension revocation ordinance was unconstitutionally vague and remanded the case for a new hearing before the Narragansett Pension Board. It also held that the award of attorneys’ fees and the innocent‑spouse pension issue were not ripe for review. The Court therefore instructed the lower court to send the case back to the Board for a de novo hearing under the newly adopted procedures.
