§3701. Findings and purpose
A. The legislature finds that friable asbestos in any environment occupied by human beings creates a serious hazard to health. The existence of such hazards should not be tolerated in the elementary and secondary schools in this state, and it is incumbent upon state government to take the initiative to see that such hazards are detected and removed.
B. It is the purpose of this Chapter to provide a mechanism by which the presence of friable asbestos in the elementary and secondary school facilities occupied by the school children of this state can be detected so that it may be removed in order that the children may learn and grow in an environment which does not threaten their welfare in any manner.
