Section 6-5-751 Legislative findings and objectives. (a) The Legislature finds that the recruitment,
establishment, development, and growth of the commercial aviation aircraft manufacturing industry
in the State of Alabama is important to the economic health of the state and its agencies
and institutions and to the general health, welfare, and prosperity of its citizens. The Legislature
finds that it is reasonable and important to the national and international companies and
businesses involved in the commercial aviation aircraft manufacturing industry locating or
considering locating in the State of Alabama to expect that civil liability actions against
them, if any, will be governed by tort principles generally accepted in other jurisdictions
outside this state that are home to such companies and businesses, but which are consistent
with the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, and this state's public policy. The Legislature
finds that the principles addressed in this article, namely,...

9-17-130
Section 9-17-130 Legislative findings and declaration. The Legislature of the State of Alabama
finds and declares that the protection of Alabama's environment is vital to the economy of
this state; that coalbed methane gas wells are an important source of natural gas for use
in industry and by consumers thereof in Alabama and are becoming increasingly common in Alabama
as the technology for such wells advances; that the broadest possible promotion of public
and private interests requires that coalbed methane gas wells be properly plugged when abandoned;
that delays therein may affect the environment or public health, safety and welfare; that
adequate financial resources be readily available to provide for the expeditious plugging
of such wells and to provide a means for doing so without delay; that the Legislature has
heretofore authorized the State Oil and Gas Board of Alabama to require that operators of
such wells provide evidence of financial responsibility to cover the costs of...

2-3A-1
Section 2-3A-1 Declaration of purpose and legislative findings. The Legislature has found and
determined and does hereby declare that in this state the following conditions exist: (1)
That there exists in this state an inadequate supply of funds at interest rates sufficiently
low to enable persons engaged in agriculture in this state to continue their operations at
present levels; (2) That such inability to continue agricultural operations lessens the supply
of agricultural commodities available to fulfill the needs of the citizens of this state;
(3) That such inability to continue operations decreases available employment in the agricultural
sector of the state and results in unemployment and its attendant problems; and (4) That it
is necessary, desirable and in the best interest of the citizens of this state that provision
be made for the establishment of a public corporation to promote the development of agriculture
in this state by making available to persons engaged in agriculture...

Section 2-6-11 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds that the Garrett Coliseum and the
Alabama Agricultural Center, hereinafter the facility, is a significant historic facility
owned by the State of Alabama and which faces imminent closure because of operational and
public safety concerns if it is not restored, renovated, and improved. The facility was designed
in 1949 by Betty Robinson, the first woman graduate from Auburn University with a degree in
architecture. The facility, completed in 1953, is of historic and cultural significance to
the State of Alabama and its restoration will enhance opportunities for economic development
that will benefit the state. The Legislature further finds that the most efficient way to
restore the facility and to operate it profitably is for the Alabama Agricultural Center Board,
hereinafter referred to as the board, to enter into agreements with public institutions and
other entities through which the use of private funding is primarily used to...

22-11D-1
Section 22-11D-1 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds that trauma is one of many severe
health problems in the State of Alabama and a major cause of death and long-term disability.
It is in the best interest of the citizens of Alabama to establish an efficient and well-coordinated
statewide trauma system and to provide for other systems of care as the needs are recognized
and funding becomes available to reduce costs and incidences of inappropriate or inadequate
emergency medical services. (Act 2007-299, p. 541, §1; Act 2012-526, p. 1556, §1.)...

22-21-261
Section 22-21-261 Legislative findings; purpose of article. The Legislature of the State of
Alabama declares that it is the public policy of the State of Alabama that a certificate of
need program be administered in the state to assure that only those health care services and
facilities found to be in the public interest shall be offered or developed in the state.
It is the purpose of the Legislature in enacting this article to prevent the construction
of unnecessary and inappropriate health care facilities through a system of mandatory reviews
of new institutional health services, as the same are defined in this article. (Acts 1977,
1st Ex. Sess., No. 82, p. 1509, §1; Acts 1982, 2nd Ex. Sess., No. 82-770, p. 249, §2.)...

(1) That in order to promote the public health of the people of the State of Alabama, the

22-21B-2
Section 22-21B-2 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds and declares: (1) It is the public
policy of the State of Alabama to respect and protect the fundamental right of conscience
of individuals who provide health care services. (2) Without comprehensive protection, health
care rights of conscience may be violated in various ways, such as harassment, demotion, salary
reduction, termination, loss of privileges, denial of aid or benefits, and refusal to license,
or refusal to certify. (3) It is the purpose of this chapter to protect religious or ethical
rights of all health care providers to decline to provide, perform, assist, or participate
in providing or performing certain health care services that violate their consciences, where
they have made their objections known in writing in advance. (4) It is the purpose of this
chapter to prohibit discrimination, disqualification, or coercion upon such health care providers

22-2A-1
Section 22-2A-1 Legislative findings. The Legislature of Alabama finds that the high cost of
pharmaceuticals is a matter of much concern to this state, especially as the cost and utilization
of drug therapy continues to rise. Insofar as this rise represents a trend towards drug therapy
in lieu of more invasive and expensive procedures, it represents a positive change. At the
same time, increasing drug costs can effectively prevent large numbers of patients from accessing
vital medication. The solution to this problem should be market-based. This legislation attempts
such a solution by (1) consolidating the state's buying power in the pharmaceutical market,
and (2) authorizing the State Health Officer to negotiate rebates and discounts from pharmaceutical
manufacturers. The result should be better prices for agencies and departments of the State
of Alabama and better access to life-saving drugs for clients, by law, they are mandated to
serve. (Act 2002-494, p. 1262, §1.)...
