16-68-1
Section 16-68-1 (Effective July 1, 2020) Legislative findings. The Legislature makes the following
findings: (1) Article I, Section 4 of the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, recognizes that
all persons may speak, write, and publish their sentiments on all subjects, and that "no
law shall ever be passed to curtail or restrain the liberty of speech...." (2) Alabama's
public institutions of higher education have historically embraced a commitment to freedom
of speech and expression. (3) The United States Supreme Court has called public universities
"peculiarly the marketplace of ideas," Healy v. James, 408 U.S. 169, 180 (1972),
where young adults learn to exercise those constitutional rights necessary to participate
in our system of government and to tolerate the exercise of those rights by others, and there
is "no room for the view that First Amendment protections should apply with less force
on college campuses than in the community at large." Healy, 408 U.S. at 180. (4) The
United...

Section 45-10-20 Regulation of liquor traffic. (a) The Legislature of Alabama is cognizant
of "Opinion of the Justices No. 376," issued April 9, 2002, which states that a
local bill for Cherokee County "purporting to allow by local law the creation of a traffic
in alcohol that does not presently exist in smaller municipalities in Cherokee County, does
not fit within the ambit of the last paragraph of Section 104 permitting the Legislature to
pass local laws regulating or prohibiting such traffic." The effect of this Opinion of
the Justices is to greatly limit situations in which local laws may be enacted regarding alcoholic
beverages. This opinion was, in part, based upon a determination that, "Generally, 'regulate'
implies the exercise of control over something that already exists." While respecting
the constitutional authority granted to the Alabama Supreme Court to interpret the Constitution
of Alabama of 1901, this body disagrees with the conclusion reached by the court concerning...

"purporting to allow by local law the creation of a traffic in alcohol that does not
presently exist in smaller municipalities in Washington County, does not fit within the ambit
of the last paragraph of Section 104 permitting the Legislature to pass local laws regulating
or prohibiting such traffic." The effect of this Opinion of the Justices is to greatly

Section 6-5-751 Legislative findings and objectives. (a) The Legislature finds that the recruitment,
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
finds that it is reasonable and important to the national and international companies and
businesses involved in the commercial aviation aircraft manufacturing industry locating or
considering locating in the State of Alabama to expect that civil liability actions against
them, if any, will be governed by tort principles generally accepted in other jurisdictions
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
finds that the principles addressed in this article, namely,...

Section 17-11-5 Delivery of absentee ballots; maintenance of voter lists. (a) Upon receipt
of an application for an absentee ballot as provided in Section 17-11-3, if the applicant's

the absentee election manager shall furnish the absentee ballot to the applicant by: (1) Forwarding
