4-25-102. Legislative intent.

The legislative intent of this chapter is declared to be as follows:

Information reporting requirements of the state government have proliferated to the point that they have placed an unprecedented paperwork burden upon citizens and businesses. It is hereby declared to be the policy of the state to reduce, simplify and minimize these requirements and the forms they necessitate to the fullest extent consistent with the necessity of gathering data sufficient to assure the efficient and effective operation of the necessary programs of state government. It is essential that there be a comprehensive and ongoing examination of the policies and procedures of the state government that have produced this paperwork burden in order to assure that this policy is fully implemented on a continuing basis.
