Official statutory text
§ 302. Legislative findings. The legislature finds that:\n (1) the state has a duty to provide public housing that is decent,\nsafe, and free from illegal drugs;\n (2) public housing projects in many areas suffer from rampant\ndrug-related crime;\n (3) drug dealers are increasingly imposing a reign of terror on public\nhousing tenants;\n (4) the increase in drug-related crime not only leads to murders,\nmuggings, and other forms of violence against tenants, but also to a\ndeterioration of the physical environment that requires substantial\ngovernment expenditures; and\n (5) local law enforcement authorities often lack the resources to deal\nwith the drug problem in public housing particularly in light of the\nrecent reductions in federal aid to cities.\n
