state and public interest in the disclosure of the source of funds used to advertise or otherwise
influence public opinion with regard to elections as defined in Section 17-5-2(3). The Legislature

Section 22-30-2 Legislative findings; purpose and intent of chapter. The Legislature finds
that the generation and management of hazardous waste is a continuing problem. Further, that

Section 22-21-278 Kidney disease treatment centers in certain municipalities exempted from
certificate of need requirement. (a) The Legislature hereby finds and declares that it is
in the best interest of the state and its residents for kidney disease treatment centers to
be established and operated throughout the state so that any patient needing such treatment
will be able to utilize a hemodialysis unit located within a reasonable distance from his
or her home; that a shortage of kidney disease treatment centers now exists in the rural areas
and smaller municipalities in the state; that the existence of the certificate of need requirement
with respect to new kidney disease treatment centers is a factor that hinders the establishment
of new treatment centers in the less heavily-populated areas of the state; that, in order
to encourage and facilitate the development of new kidney disease treatment centers in those
areas of the state where such centers are most needed, it is rational,...
