Section 16-29E-1 - Findings and purposeThe Legislature hereby finds and declares that:
(1) A crisis exists in the funding of health and social programs of this state;(2) These programs exist to provide federal and state supported services to citizens in need;(3) The health and well-being of these citizens is jeopardized when uncontrolled growth in various programs uses a disproportionate share of the available funding;(4) State programs are often developed and implemented with limited private or federal grant moneys, which require future funding from the limited state resources; and(5) The problem is exacerbated when various state agencies make competing or conflicting policy decisions.
