The Legislature finds and declares that improperly designed and installed electrified fences have caused injuries and in some instances have resulted in the deaths of persons, particularly children, coming into contact with the conductive elements thereof. In order to prevent further such accidents, it is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this chapter to provide for the study and development and enforcement of safety standards for electrified fences.
