Section 25-8-32 Legislative findings and intent. The Legislature has found that Alabama
law has not kept pace with federal standards regulating the employment of minors to the extent
that it has become increasingly difficult for employers to comply with conflicting state and
federal child labor requirements. Accordingly, numerous changes are necessary to make the
child labor laws of Alabama compatible with the United States Department of Labor regulations
governing the employment of minors in nonagricultural occupations. Similarly, there is also
a need to remove anachronistic language and make clarifications to existing standards. In
view of the foregoing findings, the Legislature through this chapter intends to do all of
the following: (1) Conform with 17 federal hazardous orders. (2) Remove exemptions for domestic
service and the grading or handling, or both, of agricultural products. (3) Add a restriction
for occupations which involve working at heights exceeding six feet, as well...

Section 26-23B-2 Legislative findings. The Legislature makes all of the following findings:
(1) Pain receptors (nociceptors) are present throughout the unborn child's entire body by
no later than 16 weeks after fertilization and nerves link these receptors to the brain's
thalamus and subcortical plate by no later than 20 weeks. (2) By eight weeks after fertilization,
the unborn child reacts to touch. After 20 weeks, the unborn child reacts to stimuli that
would be recognized as painful if applied to an adult human, for example by recoiling. (3)
For the purposes of surgery on unborn children, fetal anesthesia is routinely administered
and is associated with a decrease in stress hormones compared to their level when painful
stimuli is applied without such anesthesia. (4) In the unborn child, application of such painful
stimuli is associated with significant increases in stress hormones known as the stress response.
(5) Subjection to such painful stimuli is associated with long-term...

Section 11-5-30 Legislative findings; construction. (a) The Legislature hereby finds,
determines, and declares all of the following: (1) An unattended and sudden death is one of
society's most tragic events and should receive the appropriate caring, competent, and thorough
attention of all levels of government. (2) A suspicious, sudden, or violent death is very
difficult to investigate and to accurately determine the cause and manner of death for the
death certificate. (3) Medical examiners and coroners determine the cause of death and with
other forensic scientists and investigators determine the manner of death. (4) Death certificates
issued on unattended, sudden, and violent deaths greatly impact government spending decisions,
the living loved ones, and insurance decisions so that the accuracy of the death certificate
is of great concern to the Legislature. (5) There are currently no minimum standards of training
for county coroners. (6) Local coroners or non-physician death...

16-28A-1
Section 16-28A-1 Legislative findings. It is the finding of the Alabama Legislature
that the people of Alabama have two basic expectations of their public schools: (1) that students
be allowed to learn in a safe classroom setting where order and discipline are maintained;
and (2) that students learn at the level of their capabilities and achieve accordingly. The
Legislature finds further that every child in Alabama is entitled to have access to a program
of instruction which gives him or her the right to learn in a non-disruptive environment.
No student has a right to be unruly in his or her classroom to the extent that such disruption
denies fellow students of their right to learn. The teacher in each classroom is expected
to maintain order and discipline. Teachers are hereby given the authority and responsibility
to use appropriate means of discipline up to and including corporal punishment as may be prescribed
by the local board of education. So long as teachers follow approved...

hereby finds and declares: (1) It is essential to the proper operation of democratic government

should be made in the proper channels of the governmental structure. (3) No public office

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...
