Section 17-5-8.2 Legislative findings. (a) The Legislature determines that there is a compelling
state and public interest in the disclosure of the source of funds used to advertise or otherwise
influence public opinion with regard to elections as defined in Section 17-5-2(3). The Legislature
further finds that these compelling interests should be designed to protect the public's right
to know while protecting free speech of individuals as guaranteed in the U.S. Constitution
and the Constitution of Alabama of 1901. (b) Currently, the Fair Campaign Practices Act, as
provided in this chapter, commencing with Section 17-5-1, et seq., regulates the disclosure
of contributions and expenditures made for the purpose of influencing the outcome of an election.
This chapter is also intended to regulate the disclosure of contributions and expenditures

Section 41-10-44.1 Legislative intent with respect to additional powers of the authority. The
Legislature has found and determined that the economic well-being of the citizens of the State
of Alabama will be enhanced by the increased development and growth of industry within the
state and that it is in the best interest of the state to induce the location or expansion
of industrial and research facilities within the state in order to promote the public purpose
of creating new jobs within the state. The Legislature further has found and determined that
the inducements herein provided will encourage the creation of jobs which would not otherwise
exist and will create new sources of tax revenues for the state and its political subdivisions.
The Legislature hereby finds and declares that the powers to be granted to the authority by
this article and the purposes to be accomplished hereby are proper governmental and public
purposes and that the inducement of the location or expansion of...

Section 27-26-2 Purpose of chapter. It is hereby declared by the Legislature of the State of
Alabama that the availability of medical liability insurance at reasonable rates for the medical
profession, medical institutions, and other health care providers is essential to provide
adequate health services to the people of Alabama, and without such insurance, medical services
by the medical profession may be curtailed, and that while the need for such insurance is
increasing, availability is limited and likely to become increasingly so, unless remedial
legislation is enacted. The Legislature further finds and declares that by reason of complicated
and highly technical medical concepts, and the existence of sophisticated medical techniques,
decisions with respect to optional procedures of diagnosis and treatment have become increasingly
complex and are necessarily made on the basis of professional judgment, on which opinions
may and often will reasonably vary. It is the purpose of this...

the adoption by this state for its personal and corporate income tax purposes of certain provisions
of the laws of the United States relating to the determination of income for federal income
tax purposes will (1) simplify preparation of state income...

under this article shall be reclaimed. (a) The objective of this article is to provide for
the safe, responsible and reasonable reclamation of lands upon which surface disturbances
will be created by surface mining and the surface effects of underground mining so as to protect
the taxable value of property and preserve natural resources within the state and protect
and promote the health and safety of the people of this state, consistent with the protection
of property and with maximum employment and the economic and industrial well-being of the
state. The Legislature finds and declares that the extraction of coal by surface mining provides
a major present and future source of energy and is an essential and necessary activity which
contributes to the economic and material well-being of the state. (b) The Legislature finds

Section 22-8A-2 Legislative intent. The Legislature finds that competent adult persons have
the right to control the decisions relating to the rendering of their own medical care, including,
without limitation, the decision to have medical procedures, life-sustaining treatment, and
artificially provided nutrition and hydration provided, withheld, or withdrawn in instances
of terminal conditions and permanent unconsciousness. In order that the rights of individuals
may be respected even after they are no longer able to participate actively in decisions about
themselves, the Legislature hereby declares that the laws of this state shall recognize the
right of a competent adult person to make a written declaration instructing his or her physician
to provide, withhold, or withdraw life-sustaining treatment and artificially provided nutrition
and hydration or designate by lawful written form a health care proxy to make decisions on
behalf of the adult person concerning the providing,...

Section 12-17-225 Purpose. It is the purpose of this legislation to ensure that court-ordered
restitution to crime victims, victim compensation assessments, bail bond forfeitures, court
costs required by law, fines levied against criminals for wrongful conduct, and other court-ordered
sums payable to the state or to the crime victims be paid in full and that cost of collection
be borne by the person who is responsible for payment. The Legislature of this state further
recognizes that the district attorneys of the various judicial circuits are mandated by law
to represent the people of the state, and a strong public policy dictates that restitution,
court costs, fines, and other court-ordered sums be enforced within each judicial circuit
by the district attorneys in conjunction with the circuit clerks and local courts. (Acts 1995,
No. 95-725, p. 1548, ยง1.)...

Section 11-97-1 Legislative declarations and findings. It is hereby found and declared as follows:
(1) That the health, safety, and welfare of the people of this state require the provision
of certain utility services, including water and sewer services; (2) That it is necessary

a significant portion of the funding of the costs of construction of such utility services

16-16A-7
Section 16-16A-7 Additional findings; bonds authorized; procedures. (a) The Legislature finds
that the number of students attending the several school systems located in those areas of
North Alabama that will be directly impacted by the 2005 BRAC and Subsequent BRAC Actions
will collectively increase by an estimated 9,000 students. As a result, there will be a need
for the construction of additional school facilities as well as the renovation of existing
school facilities. The Legislature also finds that the 2005 BRAC and Subsequent BRAC Actions
will have a positive impact on future receipts to the Education Trust Fund, as the significant
population growth in North Alabama will increase sales, income, and other tax collections.
Thus, it is an efficient use of state funds to allow such revenue growth to help pay for capital
improvement costs associated with BRAC-related school construction. (b) The Alabama Public
School and College Authority is hereby authorized to sell and issue its...
