What is the purpose of the findings section of the proposed act?
Many laws on the books in Arkansas include an introductory section that explains why the law is necessary. Courts sometimes rely on this section when ruling on the constitutionality of a particular measure. The findings section of the act clarifies why this law is needed. Since virtually every scientific study on childrearing proves that children fare best in a stable home with a married mother and father, these findings are included in the proposed act.
