Section 2-17-2 Legislative findings of fact and declaration of policy; purpose and construction
of chapter generally; adoption and promulgation of regulations promulgated under certain federal
acts. (a) Meat and meat food products are an important source of the nation's total supply
of food. It is essential to the public interest that the health and welfare of consumers be

not adulterated and properly labeled and packaged meat and meat food products and result in
sundry losses to livestock producers and processors of meat and meat food products as well
as injury to consumers. The unwholesome, adulterated, misbranded or deceptively packaged articles

Section 34-14A-1 Legislative intent. In the interest of the public health, safety, welfare,
and consumer protection and to regulate the home building and private residence construction
industry, the purpose of this chapter, and the intent of the Legislature in passing it, is
to provide for the licensure of those persons who engage in home building, private residence

building services. The Legislature finds it necessary to regulate the residential home building
and home improvement industries. (Acts 1992, No. 92-608,...
