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

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...
