She successfully advocated for the state budget to fund pilot programs for statewide paratransit accessibility for Rhode Islanders with disabilities and free child care for most child care workers.

In 2022, Sen. DiMario passed many bills to promote mental health. One helps encourage diversity in social work licenses, another addresses the shortage of mental health counselors by creating a two-tiered license structure, and a third increases access to professional psychological services.

In 2021, Sen. DiMario sponsored several new laws, including a bill requiring that DCYF report all suspected cases of childhood sexual abuse to the Children’s Advocacy Center, a bill allowing restaurants to continue expanded outdoor dining, and a bill barring insurers from charging co-pays for COVID-19 treatments during Rhode Island’s state of emergency.

She was a cosponsor of the RI Child Care is Essential Act, which focused on improving access to high-quality and affordable child care and proposed a Renewable Ready program to help brownfield sites prepare for solar development.
