35A-3-301. Purpose -- Legislative intent.
(1) The Legislature finds that:
(a) it is in the public interest to fundamentally alter the state's cash assistance program for
needy families with children;
(b) employment improves the quality of life for parents, children, and individuals by
increasing family income, developing job skills, and improving self-esteem; and
(c) the purpose of the cash assistance provided under this part is to assist a parent client to
obtain employment that is sufficient to sustain a family, to ensure the dignity of those receiving
assistance, and to strengthen families.
(2) The Legislature recognizes that even with assistance, some clients may be unable to
attain complete self-sufficiency.
