§30-5-1. Legislative findings.
The Legislature hereby finds and declares that the practice of pharmacy is a privilege and not a natural or fundamental right of any individual. As a matter of public policy, it is necessary to protect the public through the enactment of this article and to regulate the granting of such privileges and their use. This article shall be liberally construed to carry out these purposes.
