timber land protection, and wildlife habitat protection. The legislative intent of this chapter
is to provide for the establishment of watershed management authorities, and to authorize
said entities to protect and manage the watersheds of this state. (Acts 1991, No. 91-602,

Section 36-29-20 Legislative findings and intent. The Legislature finds that private employers
have provided their employees with flexible employee benefit plans which provide a savings
