Sec. 2. There are persons employed in some occupations in the state of Indiana at wages insufficient to provide adequate maintenance for themselves and their families.

Employment of persons at such insufficient rates of pay threatens the health and well being of the people of the state of Indiana and injures the economy of the state.Accordingly, it is hereby declared the policy of the state of Indiana that such conditions be eliminated as rapidly as practicable without substantially curtailing opportunities for employment. To this end, the Minimum Wage Law of 1965 is enacted.Formerly: Acts 1965, c.134, s.2.
