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...

and distribution of discipline policy; liability limited for discipline actions; local boards

Section 5-18-2 Legislative findings of fact and declaration of intent. (a) The Legislature
finds as facts and determines that: (1) There exists among citizens of this state a widespread
demand for small loans. The scope and intensity of this demand have been increased progressively
by many social and economic forces; (2) The expense of making and collecting small loans,
which are usually made on comparatively unsubstantial security to wage earners, salaried employees
and other persons of relatively low incomes, is necessarily high in relation to the amounts
lent; (3) Such loans cannot be made profitably under the limitations imposed by existing laws
relating to interest and usury. These limitations have tended to exclude lawful enterprises
from the small loan field. Since the demand for small loans cannot be legislated out of existence,
many small borrowers have been left to the mercy of those willing to bear the opprobrium and
risk the penalties of usury for a large profit; (4)...
