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

to the citizens of this state the benefits of a strengthened...
