Section 15-23-2 Legislative findings, etc. The Legislature hereby finds, determines and declares
that victims of violent crime are often reduced to bereft and destitute circumstances as a
result of the criminal acts perpetrated against them, that the financial or economic resources
of such victims and their dependents are in many instances distressed or depleted as a result
of injuries inflicted upon them by violent criminals. That the general social and economic
welfare of such victims and their dependents is and ought to be intimately affected with the
public interest, that the deplorable plight of these unfortunate citizens should not go unnoticed
by our institutions and agencies of government. The Legislature hereby further finds, determines
and declares that it is to the benefit of all that victims of violence and their dependents
be assisted financially and socially whenever possible. To this end the Legislature intends
to provide a means whereby victims of violent crime and...

Section 40-9B-2 Legislative findings. The Legislature recognizes the importance of industrial
development to the well being of the people of the state. The Legislature also recognizes
that industries are attracted by a number of factors, including natural resources, a well-trained
workforce, good roads, and excellent education. The Legislature also recognizes that in some
cases additional incentives are required to succeed in attracting new industries and encouraging
existing industries to expand and therefore intends to continue to allow county and municipal
governments and certain public corporations to provide substantial tax incentives. (Acts 1992,

and reusing previously utilized property to the well-being of the people of the state. The

Section 11-5-30 Legislative findings; construction. (a) The Legislature hereby finds, determines,
and declares all of the following: (1) An unattended and sudden death is one of society's
most tragic events and should receive the appropriate caring, competent, and thorough attention
of all levels of government. (2) A suspicious, sudden, or violent death is very difficult
to investigate and to accurately determine the cause and manner of death for the death certificate.
(3) Medical examiners and coroners determine the cause of death and with other forensic scientists
and investigators determine the manner of death. (4) Death certificates issued on unattended,
sudden, and violent deaths greatly impact government spending decisions, the living loved
ones, and insurance decisions so that the accuracy of the death certificate is of great concern
to the Legislature. (5) There are currently no minimum standards of training for county coroners.
(6) Local coroners or non-physician death...

Section 11-71-1 Legislative findings. The Legislature makes the following statements and findings:
(1) Cities have hundreds of miles of roads and streets located in subdivisions that are in
need of upgrades or additions. These upgrades or additions are behind schedule and at the
current rate will take considerably more years to complete, if ever. These upgrades or additions
include, but are not limited to, sanitary sewer, drainage, curb and gutter, sidewalk, underground
power, and asphalt overlaying. (2) Homeowners and business owners would benefit from the voluntary

Section 2-19-120 Legislative findings and purpose. The Legislature has found and determined
and does hereby declare that the boll weevil is a public nuisance, a pest and a menace to
the cotton industry. Due to the interstate nature of boll weevil infestation, it is necessary
to secure the cooperation of cotton growers, and other state and federal governments to carry
out a program of boll weevil suppression or eradication. The purpose of this article is to
secure the suppression or eradication of the boll weevil and to provide for certification
of a cotton grower's organization to cooperate with state and federal agencies in the administration
of cost-sharing programs for the suppression or eradication of the boll weevil. This article
should be liberally construed to achieve these above purposes. (Acts 1984, 1st Ex. Sess.,
No. 84-786, p. 170, §1.)...

Section 22-4-31 Legislative findings. The Legislature does hereby set out the following findings
and reasons for passage of this article. Alabama has adopted a system of health planning and
development administered by the State Health Planning and Development Agency (SHPDA). In addition,
the Statewide Health Coordinating Council (SHCC) is charged with reviewing Alabama's health
planning needs and writing the State Health Plan to assist the Certificate of Need Review
Board. The Certificate of Need Review Board is responsible for reviewing and approving certificate
of need applications in Alabama. There is no current systematic way for the SHPDA, SHCC, or
the Certificate of Need Review Board to collect all the health care services information necessary
for proper health care planning in Alabama, because reporting to SHPDA is voluntary. The Legislature
hereby finds and determines that collection of additional health care information is necessary
for informed statewide health planning. The...

Section 15-14-51 Legislative findings; purpose of article. (a) The Legislature hereby finds
and determines that it is essential to the fair and impartial administration of justice that
a victim of a criminal offense be afforded a reasonable opportunity to attend any trial or
hearing or any portion thereof conducted by any court which in any way pertains to such offense.
(b) Further, the Legislature hereby finds and determines that it is essential to the fair
and impartial administration of justice that a victim of a criminal offense not be excluded
from any hearing or trial or any portion thereof conducted by any court which in any way pertains
to such offense, merely because the victim has been or may be subpoenaed to testify at such
hearing or trial or because of any arbitrary or invidious reason. (c) The provisions of this
article are to be construed so as to accomplish these purposes and to promote the same which
are hereby declared to be the public policy of this state. (Acts...

5-18-2
Section 5-18-2 Legislative findings of fact and declaration of intent. (a) The Legislature
finds as facts and determines that: (1) There exists among citizens of this state a widespread
demand for small loans. The scope and intensity of this demand have been increased progressively
by many social and economic forces; (2) The expense of making and collecting small loans,
which are usually made on comparatively unsubstantial security to wage earners, salaried employees
and other persons of relatively low incomes, is necessarily high in relation to the amounts
lent; (3) Such loans cannot be made profitably under the limitations imposed by existing laws
relating to interest and usury. These limitations have tended to exclude lawful enterprises
from the small loan field. Since the demand for small loans cannot be legislated out of existence,
many small borrowers have been left to the mercy of those willing to bear the opprobrium and
risk the penalties of usury for a large profit; (4)...

8-6-111
Section 8-6-111 Legislative findings; purpose of article. (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. (b) The purpose of this article is to provide a procedure whereby the
State of Alabama, acting through the director and the commission, may assist in developing
facts to aid the issuer in the exercise of its authority under the authorizing act, and, to
that end, to delay the issuance of industrial revenue bonds pending adequate investigation
by the director or to prevent the issue of industrial revenue bonds found to be improvident.
