state action immunity; confidentiality of records; additional duties. (a) The Legislature
declares that collaboration among public payers, private health carriers, third party purchasers,
and providers to identify appropriate service delivery systems and reimbursement methods in
order to align incentives in support of integrated and coordinated health care delivery is
in the best interest of the public. Collaboration pursuant to this article is to provide quality
health care at the lowest possible cost to Alabama citizens who are Medicaid eligible. The
Legislature, therefore, declares that this health care delivery system affirmatively contemplates
the foreseeable displacement of competition, such that any anti-competitive effect may be
attributed to the state's policy to displace competition in the delivery of a coordinated
system of health care for the public benefit. In furtherance of...

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,...
