Section 38-15-2 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds that there is a substantial need
to protect children and youth from abuse and neglect by persons entrusted with their physical
custody, and from persons or organizations that advertise, hold themselves out, or lead others
to believe that they will provide them with health, therapeutic, rehabilitative, or disciplinary
services, and from persons employed or exercising authority over them, and who they depend
upon to provide the basic necessities of life. The Legislature further finds that abuse and
neglect often take the form of the withholding of the basic necessities of life, including
food, water, shelter, clothing, and health care through an affirmative act or omission. It
is the intent of the Legislature to implement a baseline of registration and regulation requirements
for religious, faith-based, or church nonprofit, other nonprofit, and for profit affiliated
youth residential facilities and institutions that have...
