The legislature determines that the economic development of the state will be best served by not terminating the existing eighty-six canopy licenses but rather by replacing the canopy licenses with dispenser's licenses as provided in this act in order to increase state revenues, to avoid the loss of state and local tax and license fee revenues, to avoid the loss of many jobs and to help promote a stable business climate in the state.
