state action immunity. (a) The Legislature declares that collaboration among public payers,
private health carriers, third party purchasers, and providers to identify appropriate service

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

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
