6-55-102. Purpose.

(a) The General Assembly recognizes that at any given time the level of activity in our national construction industry is the primary yardstick for measuring the overall economic health of this country and that the success and stability of the building business of this state are dependent upon a sufficient supply of skilled artisans and craftspersons who can produce quality projects that inspire public confidence.

(b) It is the intent of this chapter to promote a coordinated effort between the construction industry and the vocational and technical schools and colleges to enhance the availability and the competence of the work force supporting the industry by instituting a craft training program.
