R.I. Gen. Laws § 36-4-2-(1) to (4) (Supp. 2016) is a citation to which state's regulations?

Recognizing which state's regulations a citation refers to. "R.I. Gen. Laws" signals Rhode Island's General Laws—the official codified statutes of Rhode Island. The numbers "36-4-2-(1) to (4)" indicate Title 36, Chapter 4, Section 2, subsections (1) through (4). The parenthetical "(Supp. 2016)" shows the 2016 supplement to that code. Put together, this citation is clearly Rhode Island's statutory scheme. Other states use different codification prefixes (like Delaware Code, N.J.S.A. for New Jersey, or Mich. Comp. Laws for Michigan), so this one identifies Rhode Island.
