Short Title. This article may be known and cited as the Tinian Garment Factory Act of 1988. Source: Tinian LL 6-4, § 2. Commission Comment: Tinian LL 6-4, originally codified as 10 CMC §§ 2511-2521, took effect January 23, 1989. According to Tinian LL 6-4, § 3: Section 3. Findings and Purpose. The members of the Second Senatorial District find the public welfare of the people requires a modicum of economic and business opportunities. To date, the Second Senatorial District has been unable to generate economic opportunities sufficient to provide investment and job opportunities for a majority of its citizens. The result has been that unemployment and under-employment have become a social concern for all, and particularly for the youth of the District, and a burden on government public assistance efforts. Stimulating economic and business opportunities is a legitimate government purpose. Tinian needs substantial business establishments, properly capitalized, to assure long-term employment and investment opportunities for the resident population and the enhancement of the tax base so necessary to finance government activities such as infrastructure and education.
