2010 Maine Code
TITLE 5: ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES AND SERVICES
Chapter 155: PURCHASES
5 §1821. Purpose
Part 4: FINANCE
Subchapter 1: GENERAL PROVISIONS
§1821. Purpose
The purpose of sections 1821 to 1824 is to provide an expanded, more constant market for blind-made products and further the State of Maine's policy of encouraging and assisting handicapped citizens to achieve maximum personal independence by engaging in useful and productive activities. Resultant expanded employment opportunities would enhance the dignity of blind and visually handicapped workers, generate tax dollars from earnings and ultimately reduce the need for welfare dependency. It is further predicted that the program presented will help not only blind workers but will result in job opportunities needed by multiple handicapped blind persons who, unless provided with such employment opportunities, are in danger of becoming lifetime, nonproductive residents of state institutions and that the immense savings in costs of permanent institutionalization of such multiple handicapped blind persons will greatly exceed the costs of the program hereby established.
