R.I. Gen. Laws § 5-37.8-3

An employer, agency, or institution shall not take any adverse action, including but not limited to, restricting or terminating any healthcare provider’s employment or ability to practice as a result of an adverse action against the healthcare provider’s license or other disciplinary action by another state or institution that resulted from the healthcare provider’s engagement in legally protected healthcare activity, as defined in § 23-101-2, or aiding and assisting with legally protected healthcare activity, as defined in § 23-101-2, if the adverse action was based solely on a violation of the other state’s law prohibiting such legally protected healthcare activity and related services, if that legally protected healthcare activity is consistent with the applicable professional standard of care and did not violate Rhode Island law.
