CHAPTER 42-64.15

Made in Rhode Island Manufacturing Collaborative of 2013

SECTION 42-64.15-2



   § 42-64.15-2  Legislative findings. –

The general assembly hereby finds that there is an increasing trend among

Americans to buy local and that there are currently insufficient resources and

information necessary to support, encourage and foster consumer product

awareness and purchases of locally manufactured products in the state of Rhode

Island. By defining, branding and protecting what "Made in Rhode Island" means,

the general assembly seeks to capitalize, protect and keep our Rhode Island

manufacturing and creative sector businesses competitive in an increasingly

global market by distinguishing and building pride in these businesses through

this branding. Encouraging the purchase of these products will help grow these

businesses, encourage new businesses to make products in Rhode Island and in so

doing, secure and create further jobs.
