Rhode Island General Laws Title 42. State Affairs and Government § 42-11-14.1. Alkaline paper required

All records and publications selected by state agencies which have been determined to be of permanent value by the state archives shall be printed on alkaline paper which is in keeping with ANSI Standard Z39.48-1984. This includes, but is not limited to, the following materials: all original bills introduced into the general assembly; all annual reports of state agencies; and all minutes of public meetings. Should the costs for the purchase of alkaline paper exceed that of acidic by greater than ten percent (10%) of the cost of acidic paper, then the provisions of this section may be waived.
