The General Assembly finds that:
(1) The incidence of HIV-AIDS is on the rise in Arkansas among women, African-Americans, and Hispanics;
(2) State and federal funds for HIV-AIDS prevention, intervention, and service programs for minorities in the State of Arkansas have decreased;
(3) More coalition building between community-based organizations in the execution of HIV-AIDS intervention and prevention programs is needed to reduce HIV-AIDS in minority communities and to make more effective use of limited resources; and
(4) An HIV-AIDS Minority Task Force is needed to increase public awareness of the gravity of HIV-AIDS in minority communities in Arkansas.
