SECTION 5901
Statement of objectives and legislative findings
Education (EDN) CHAPTER 16, TITLE 7, ARTICLE 119
§ 5901. Statement of objectives and legislative findings. The
legislative process, involving determination of public needs and
aspirations, the allocation of funds between private and public sectors,
the order of priorities within the public sector, the maintenance of
stability within our society, the invigoration of the productive forces
of the state, is a dynamic system. As society becomes more specialized
and scientific advances multiply and the legislature's role in decision
making increases, it becomes more necessary than ever that the
legislative process provide an avenue for responsible closing of the gap
between technological know-how and our social institutions.

The legislature finds that in order to promote public interest and
welfare, it is essential that there be provided a central institution
where research, training and information on the legislative process be
provided.
