Section 1401 - Findings and purpose

The General Assembly hereby finds:

(1) That the poultry and egg industries in Pennsylvania are vital to the health and welfare of all Pennsylvanians.
(2) That all segments of these industries, including farmers, brokers, processors and retailers, need to be financially secure in order for the industry to benefit the citizens of this Commonwealth.
(3) That there are insufficient guarantees of payment to poultry and egg farmers.
(4) That, if poultry and egg farmers are not financially secure, these industries would collapse, thereby threatening the jobs, health and welfare of thousands of Pennsylvanians.
