Section 1. Findings and purpose.
The General Assembly hereby finds:
(1) That the poultry and egg industries in Pennsylvania
are vital to the health and welfare of all Pennsylvanians.
(2) That all segments of these industries, including
farmers, brokers, processors and retailers, need to be
financially secure in order for the industry to benefit the
citizens of this Commonwealth.
(3) That there are insufficient guarantees of payment to
poultry and egg farmers.
(4) That, if poultry and egg farmers are not financially
secure, these industries would collapse, thereby threatening
the jobs, health and welfare of thousands of Pennsylvanians.
