Section 12-16-214 Legislative findings; desirability of secrecy. The Legislature hereby finds,
declares and determines that it is essential to the fair and impartial administration of justice
that all grand jury proceedings be secret and that the secrecy of such proceedings remain
inviolate. The provisions of this division are to be construed for the accomplishment of this
purpose and to promote the following: (1) That grand juries have the utmost freedom in their
discussions, deliberations, considerations, debates, opinions and votes without fear or apprehension
that the same may be subsequently disclosed, or that they may be subject to outside pressure
or influence or injury in their person or property as a result thereof. (2) That those persons
who have information or knowledge with respect to the commission of crimes or criminal acts

Section 23-1-291 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds that certain portions of the state
highway system provide access to state locales that are notable for their scenic, natural,
historic, recreational, cultural, and archaeological value and are therefore worthy of designations
as scenic byways in order to provide special consideration of their unique features and special
role in the highway system. The Legislature further finds that the public interest would be
served by the formation of a coordinated scenic byways program to enhance recreational, cultural,
and archaeological resources, encourage economic development through tourism, improve the
transportation system, and educate residents and visitors on the history, culture, and natural
beauty of this state. In order to implement this program, the Legislature has determined that
a two-tiered structure would best serve the governance of the Alabama Scenic Byways program.
The Legislature recognizes that the application of this...

26-23C-2
(a) The Legislature of the State of Alabama finds all of the following: (1) Under the Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act, P.L. 111-148, federal tax dollars, via affordability credits,
subsidies provided to individuals between 150-400 percent of the federal poverty level, are
routed to exchange participating health insurance plans, including plans that provide coverage
for abortions. (2) Federal funding of insurance plans that provide abortions is an unprecedented
change in federal abortion funding policy. The Hyde Amendment, as passed each year
in the Labor Health and Human Services Appropriations bill, and the Federal Employee Health
Benefits Program, FEHBP, prohibit federal funds from subsidizing health insurance plans that
provide abortions. Under this new law, however, exchange participating health insurance plans
that provide abortions can receive federal funds. (3) The provision of federal funding for
health insurance plans that provide abortion coverage is nothing...

11-53B-1
Section 11-53B-1 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds all of the following: (1) It is
estimated that within the municipalities of the state, there exist several thousand parcels
of real property that due to poor design, obsolescence, or neglect, have become unsafe to
the extent of becoming public nuisances. Much of this property is vacant or in a state of
disrepair and is causing or may cause a blight or blighting influence on the city and the
neighborhoods in which the property is located. Such property constitutes a threat to the
health, safety, and welfare to the citizens of the state and is an impediment to economic
development within the municipality. This threat can be minimized if an incorporated municipality
is authorized to repair the affected structures and is able to recover the cost of the repairs.
In addition, where the municipality has undertaken the demolition of the structures and has
taken a lien on the real property for the cost of the demolition, there has not...

Section 16-18B-1 Legislative findings. The Legislature hereby finds and declares that it is
necessary, desirable, and in the public interest that the state provide adequate forensic
sciences laboratories and educational facilities for the provision of instruction and research
in the field of forensic sciences. It is the intention of the Legislature by the passage of
this article to authorize the formation of a public corporation for the purposes of providing
for the acquisition, provision, construction, improvement, renovation, equipping, and maintenance
of such facilities and to authorize the corporation to provide for payment of the costs of

22-8B-2
Section 22-8B-2 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds all of the following: (1) In almost
every state, it is a crime to assist a suicide. These bans are long-standing expressions of
the commitment of the states to protect and preserve all human life. (2) The state has an
interest in protecting vulnerable groups, including the impoverished, the elderly, and disabled
persons from abuse, neglect, and mistakes. A ban on assisted suicide reflects and reinforces
our belief that the lives of those in vulnerable groups are no less valued than the lives
of the young and healthy. (3) The state has an interest in protecting the integrity and ethics
of the medical profession, including its obligation to serve its patients as healers and adhere
to the principles articulated in the Hippocratic Oath. (4) The state recognizes the close
link between physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia where a right to die can easily become
a duty to die. A prohibition against assisted suicide is the only...

Section 23-8-2 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds all of the following: (a) That consistent
with the constitutional mandate that navigable waterways are public highways, the Legislature
hereby finds as a fact that a portion of the gasoline and diesel fuel sold in this state is
used for marine purposes to propel vessels on coastal and inland waterways of this state.
(b) That it is the policy of this state to use a portion of the funds derived from the additional
excise tax levied by the Rebuild Alabama Act on each net gallon of gasoline and diesel fuel

26-10D-2
Section 26-10D-2 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds all of the following: (1) Alabama
provides state licensed child placing services through various state, charitable, religious,
and private organizations. (2) Religious organizations, in particular, have a lengthy and
distinguished history of providing child placing services that predate government involvement.
(3) Religious organizations have long been licensed and should continue to contract with and
be licensed by the state to provide child placing services. (4) The faith of the people of
the United States has always played a vital role in efforts to serve the most vulnerable,

inspired their service. (5) Religious organizations display particular excellence when providing
child placing services. (6) Religious organizations cannot provide...
