1. The Legislature finds and declares that:

b. Persons working under these unlawful sweatshop conditions are being exploited daily;

c. It is the sense of this Legislature that this exploitation of garment workers must be eliminated; and

d. Therefore, it is necessary and proper for the Legislature to create a special task force to enforce the State's labor laws in the apparel industry and to establish a registration system for employers in that industry.
