R.I. Gen. Laws § 6-38-1: Declaration of purpose.

Given increased public awareness in energy conservation and a concurrent increase in energy activity in the marketplace, the general assembly finds that to offer consumer protection to prospective purchasers of insulation products and of installation services of those products serves the public interest, and the general assembly further finds that the protection can be afforded by requiring that no insulation contractor shall install insulation in any existing residential, industrial, or commercial building without first providing the owner or lessee with a written contract which shall include, but not be limited to, the provisions of § 6-38-4.
