Section 45-49-21.20 Legislative findings. (a) The Legislature is cognizant of Opinion of the
Justices No. 376, issued April 9, 2002, which states that a local bill for Washington County
"purporting to allow by local law the creation of a traffic in alcohol that does not
presently exist in smaller municipalities in Washington County, does not fit within the ambit
of the last paragraph of Section 104 permitting the Legislature to pass local laws regulating

Section 41-10-21 Legislative findings of fact and declaration of intent; construction of article.
The Legislature hereby makes the following findings of fact and declares its intent to be
as follows: In recent years changes have taken place in the economy of this state which have
had a far-reaching effect on the welfare of its citizens. The agrarian economy which once
prevailed in this state and provided the principal means of livelihood for most of the citizens
of the state has proven inadequate to provide employment for the state's growing population.
The advent of mechanized and scientific farming methods has reduced greatly the number of
persons required to obtain increased yields of agricultural products from land under cultivation.
There has been a correspondingly greater dependence upon industrial development as the bulwark
of the economy of this state. It is appropriate and necessary that measures be taken to secure
to the citizens of this state the benefits of a strengthened...
