Section 41-10-350 Legislative findings and purpose. The Legislature hereby finds and declares
that it is necessary, desirable and in the public interest that additional facilities be made
available in this state for mental health purposes. It is the intention of the Legislature
by the passage of this article to authorize the formation of a public corporation for the

health facilities (including improvements to existing facilities), and to authorize the said
corporation, in order to provide for payment of the costs of the said facilities, to anticipate
the proceeds of that portion of a special state tax (originally levied by Act No. 275, adopted
at the 1967 Regular Session of the Legislature of Alabama), that was levied for mental health
purposes by the issuance of the bonds of the said corporation payable solely from the proceeds
of the said tax. (Acts 1988, No. 88-475, p. 739, §1.)...

36-36-1
Section 36-36-1 Legislative findings. The Legislature of Alabama hereby finds and determines
that the funding of accrued and accruing health care benefits to retired employees and their
dependents is a proper governmental function and purpose of the state. The Governmental Accounting
Standards Board has issued Statements 43 and 45, which set forth standards on accounting and
reporting for post-employment benefits other than pensions by governments. The new standards
will require the state to account for such post-employment benefits on an actuarial basis
during an employee's career rather than on a pay-as-you-go basis during the employee's period
of retirement. The Legislature has determined that it would be advisable for the state to
create irrevocable trusts whereby the state may begin funding those benefits in advance to
address and ultimately offset the state's accrued liabilities for such benefits. Therefore,
the state, the State Employees' Insurance Board, and the Public...

35-4-430
Section 35-4-430 Intent. The Legislature finds and declares that the public policy of this
state favors the marketability of real property and the transferability of interests in real
property free of title defects or unreasonable restraints on alienation. The Legislature further
finds and declares that private transfer fee obligations violate this public policy by impairing
the marketability and transferability of real property and by constituting an unreasonable
restraint on alienation regardless of the duration of the obligation to pay a private transfer
fee, the amount of a private transfer fee, or the method by which any private transfer fee
is created or imposed. Thus, the Legislature finds and declares that a private transfer fee
obligation should not run with the title to property or otherwise bind subsequent owners of
property under any common law or equitable principle. (Act 2011-260, p. 474, §1.)...

36-25-2
Section 36-25-2 Legislative findings and declarations; purpose of chapter. (a) The Legislature
hereby finds and declares: (1) It is essential to the proper operation of democratic government
that public officials be independent and impartial. (2) Governmental decisions and policy
should be made in the proper channels of the governmental structure. (3) No public office
should be used for private gain other than the remuneration provided by law. (4) It is important
that there be public confidence in the integrity of government. (5) The attainment of one
or more of the ends set forth in this subsection is impaired whenever there exists a conflict
of interest between the private interests of a public official or a public employee and the
duties of the public official or public employee. (6) The public interest requires that the
law protect against such conflicts of interest and establish appropriate ethical standards
with respect to the conduct of public officials and public employees in...

11-89C-1
Section 11-89C-1 Legislative findings and intent. (a) The Legislature finds and declares that
it is in the public interest and the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of this state
and within the police power of the state, county, and municipal governments to promote effective
and efficient compliance with federal and state laws, rules, regulations, and permits relating
to discharges into and from municipal separate storm sewers, and to promote and authorize
the discovery, control, and elimination, wherever practicable, of that discharge at the local
government level. (b) It is the intention of the Legislature by passage of this chapter to
assist the state in its implementation of the storm water laws, and to supplement the authority
of the governing bodies of all counties and municipalities in the state to enable them to
implement the storm water laws. (c) It is further the intention of the Legislature to authorize
and promote the intercooperation of the governing bodies in...

22-21-278
Section 22-21-278 Kidney disease treatment centers in certain municipalities exempted from
certificate of need requirement. (a) The Legislature hereby finds and declares that it is
in the best interest of the state and its residents for kidney disease treatment centers to
be established and operated throughout the state so that any patient needing such treatment
will be able to utilize a hemodialysis unit located within a reasonable distance from his
or her home; that a shortage of kidney disease treatment centers now exists in the rural areas
and smaller municipalities in the state; that the existence of the certificate of need requirement
with respect to new kidney disease treatment centers is a factor that hinders the establishment
of new treatment centers in the less heavily-populated areas of the state; that, in order
to encourage and facilitate the development of new kidney disease treatment centers in those
areas of the state where such centers are most needed, it is rational,...
