Section 22-55-1 Enactment of compact; terms. The Interstate Compact on Mental Health is hereby enacted into law and entered into by this state with all other states legally joining therein in the form substantially as follows: INTERSTATE COMPACT ON MENTAL HEALTH The contracting states solemnly agree that: Article I The party states find that the proper and expeditious treatment of the mentally ill and mentally deficient can be facilitated by cooperative action to the benefit of the patients, their families and society as a whole.

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...
