37-14-1
Section 37-14-1 Legislative declarations, findings, etc. The Legislature of the State of Alabama
has investigated the economic, financial and environmental impact associated with the potential
for duplication of electric distribution facilities used for the furnishing of retail electric
service. Among its findings are the conclusion that with respect to retail electric sales,
the benefit normally associated with competition between two or more entities for customers
is outweighed by the tremendous cost burden which must be borne by such customers associated
with the maintenance of two or more duplicate sets of facilities. It is the further finding
of the legislature that the existence of duplicate facilities for the furnishing of electricity
at retail is not in the public interest because of the adverse impact which such duplication
has on environmental and aesthetic values and on safety. It is therefore declared that the
policy of the State of Alabama is to ensure effective,...

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.

41-10-540
Section 41-10-540 Legislative findings; construction. The Legislature finds and declares the
following: That the State of Alabama, acting in its own name and through various public corporations,
has made substantial financial contractual commitments for incentives to industries agreeing
to locate or expand their operations in Alabama; that the creation of a state-level agency

25-8-32
Section 25-8-32 Legislative findings and intent. The Legislature has found that Alabama law
has not kept pace with federal standards regulating the employment of minors to the extent
that it has become increasingly difficult for employers to comply with conflicting state and
federal child labor requirements. Accordingly, numerous changes are necessary to make the
child labor laws of Alabama compatible with the United States Department of Labor regulations
governing the employment of minors in nonagricultural occupations. Similarly, there is also
a need to remove anachronistic language and make clarifications to existing standards. In
view of the foregoing findings, the Legislature through this chapter intends to do all of
the following: (1) Conform with 17 federal hazardous orders. (2) Remove exemptions for domestic
service and the grading or handling, or both, of agricultural products. (3) Add a restriction
for occupations which involve working at heights exceeding six feet, as well...

38-15-2
Section 38-15-2 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds that there is a substantial need
to protect children and youth from abuse and neglect by persons entrusted with their physical
custody, and from persons or organizations that advertise, hold themselves out, or lead others
to believe that they will provide them with health, therapeutic, rehabilitative, or disciplinary
services, and from persons employed or exercising authority over them, and who they depend
upon to provide the basic necessities of life. The Legislature further finds that abuse and
neglect often take the form of the withholding of the basic necessities of life, including
food, water, shelter, clothing, and health care through an affirmative act or omission. It
is the intent of the Legislature to implement a baseline of registration and regulation requirements
for religious, faith-based, or church nonprofit, other nonprofit, and for profit affiliated
youth residential facilities and institutions that have...
