Public Safety Code
Mcgruff Safe House Act
Section 102
Purpose.
     53-15-102.   Purpose.
     (1) The Legislature recognizes that children are often in dangerous situations that may be threatening or frightening to them and that there is a need for "safe homes" in our neighborhoods where a child may go for help.
     (2) The Legislature also recognizes that along with the need for "safe homes" that children can recognize easily, there is needed a method by which these homes can be identified.
     (3) The purpose of this chapter is to:
     (a) provide and designate a recognizable symbol for those "safe homes" that children can readily identify; and
     (b) establish a method by which local law enforcement agencies can identify and train volunteers who are willing to make their homes "safe homes".
