§ 42-64.15-2. Legislative findings.

The general assembly hereby finds that there is an increasing trend among Americans to buy local and that there are currently insufficient resources and information necessary to support, encourage, and foster consumer product awareness and purchases of locally manufactured products in the state of Rhode Island. By defining, branding, and protecting what "Made in Rhode Islandâ€� means, the general assembly seeks to capitalize, protect, and keep our Rhode Island manufacturing and creative sector businesses competitive in an increasingly global market by distinguishing and building pride in these businesses through this branding. Encouraging the purchase of these products will help grow these businesses, encourage new businesses to make products in Rhode Island and in so doing, secure and create further jobs.
