§ 42-117-2. Legislative findings.
(a) It is found and declared that there exists in our state a condition of substantial and persistent unemployment and under employment which causes hardship to many individuals and families, wastes vital human resources, increases the public assistance burdens of the state, impairs the security of family life, prevents many of our youths from continuing their education, impedes the economic and physical development of municipalities, and adversely affects the welfare and prosperity of our state.
(b) It is declared to be the policy of the state to promote a vigorous and growing economy, to prevent economic stagnation, and to encourage the creation of new job opportunities in order to ameliorate the hazards of unemployment and underemployment, reduce the level of public assistance, increase revenues to the state and its municipalities, and to achieve a stable diversified economy.
(c) The purpose of this chapter is to provide a mechanism for business and industry to secure any necessary licenses or permits, without waiving the lawful conditions of the license or permits, in an expeditious manner.
