(a) The Legislature finds and determines that unscrupulous promoters may take advantage of the authorizing act by inducing issuers to issue industrial revenue bonds which careful investigation by the issuer or other responsible parties would reveal to be improvident. The standing of all issuers could be impaired and the purposes of the Legislature in enacting the authorizing act could be thwarted by those improvident issues.
