reduced-rate care and other health care services furnished to residents of the state by hospitals

and budgetary limitations or restrictions, the state and the various counties, municipalities,
and educational institutions therein are no longer able to provide, from taxes and other general
fund moneys, all the revenues and funds necessary to operate such publicly-owned hospitals
and other health care facilities adequately and efficiently; and (3) That to enable such publicly-owned

Section 16-16-2 Legislative findings of fact and declaration of intent; liberal construction
of chapter. The Legislature hereby makes the findings of fact and declaration of intent hereinafter
set forth in this section. The great increase during recent years in the number of
students enrolled in the public schools and in other educational institutions in the state

increased birth rate and other factors, the increased enrollment in other public institutions
in the state and the need to supply additional educational facilities at those other public
institutions for the purpose of maintaining and further developing educational programs for
the inmates of those institutions have made it imperative that buildings and other facilities
for educational purposes be constructed and equipped in all parts of the...

and does hereby declare that in Marengo County and in all municipalities situated in the county
the following conditions exist: (1) That the recent improvement of the state's inland waterways
is and will continue bringing about an ever expanding use of such waterways, and the tremendous
growth of commerce on such waterways has created a critical need for industrial expansion

grain elevators, cotton compresses, warehouses, water and rail terminals, and other structures
and facilities needful in such commerce and for the convenient use of such waterways. (2)

Section 12-23A-3 Legislative intent. (a) The Legislature recognizes that a critical
need exists in this state for the criminal justice system to more effectively address the
number of defendants who are involved with substance abuse or addiction. For the criminal
justice system to maintain credibility, court and community alternatives for the substance
abuse and addiction involved defendant must be expanded. A growing body of research demonstrates
the impact of substance abuse on public safety, personal health, and health care costs, the
spread of communicable disease, educational performance and attainment, work force reliability
and productivity, family safety, and financial stability. Requiring accountability and effective
treatment, in addition to or in place of, conventional and expensive incarceration, will promote
public safety, the welfare of the individuals involved, reduce the burden upon the State Treasury
and benefit the common welfare of this state. The goals of this...
