PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) - Rhode Island Gov. Don Carcieri has signed legislation closing a loophole that made indoor prostitution legal and allowed more than 30 suspected brothels to operate around the state.

Carcieri praised the new law as a step forward and said it ended Rhode Island's "terrible" distinction.
