Section 24-4A-1 Legislative findings; purpose of chapter. The Legislature hereby finds that in an effort to meet the housing needs within the state, the private housing and construction industry has developed mass production techniques which can substantially reduce a housing and building cost, and that the mass production of housing and buildings consisting primarily of factory manufacture presents unique problems with respect to the establishment of uniform health and safety standards and inspection procedures.
