6-5-570
Section 6-5-570 Statement of legislative intent. It is hereby declared by the Legislature
of the State of Alabama that a crisis threatens the delivery of legal service to the people
of Alabama and that the quality of legal services which should be made available to the citizens
of this state is in jeopardy. It is the declared intent of this Legislature to insure that
quality legal services continue to be available at reasonable costs to the citizens of the
State of Alabama. This Legislature finds and declares that the increasing threat of legal
actions against legal service providers contributes to an increase in the cost of legal services
and places a heavy burden upon those who can least afford such cost and that the threat of
such legal actions contributes to the expense of providing legal services to be performed
by legal service providers which otherwise would not be considered necessary, and that the
spiraling costs and decreasing availability of essential legal services caused...

22-22A-2
Section 22-22A-2 Legislative intent and purposes of chapter. The Legislature finds the
resources of the state must be managed in a manner compatible with the environment, and the
health and welfare of the citizens of the state. To respond to the needs of its environment
and citizens, the state must have a comprehensive and coordinated program of environmental
management. It is therefore the intent of the Legislature to improve the ability of the state
to respond in an efficient, comprehensive and coordinated manner to environmental problems,
and thereby assure for all citizens of the state a safe, healthful and productive environment.
(1) To this end an Alabama Department of Environmental Management is created by this chapter
within the Executive Branch of State Government in order to effect the grouping of state agencies
which have primary responsibility for administering environmental legislation into one department,
to promote economy and efficiency in the operation and management...

25-8-32
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...

16-6D-3
Section 16-6D-3 Legislative findings and intent. (a) The Legislature finds and declares
all of the following: (1) To further the goals of public education throughout the state, each
school system should be able to have maximum possible flexibility to meet the needs of students
and the communities within its jurisdiction. (2) There is a critical need for innovative models
of public education that are tailored to the unique circumstances and needs of the students
in all schools and communities, and especially in schools and communities that are struggling
to improve academic outcomes and close the achievement gap. (3) To better serve students and
better use available resources, local boards of education, local school systems, and parents
need the ability to explore flexible alternatives in an effort to be more efficient and effective
in providing operational and programmatic services. (b) Therefore, it is the intent of the
Legislature to do all of the following: (1) Allow school systems...

38-9-3
Section 38-9-3 Legislative findings and intent. The legislature recognizes that there
are many adult citizens of the state who, because of the infirmities of age, disabilities
or like incapacities, are in need of protective services. Such services should, to the maximum
degree of feasibility, allow the individual the same rights as other citizens, and at the
same time protect the individual from exploitation, neglect, abuse and degrading treatment.
This chapter is designed to establish those services and assure their availability to all
persons when in need of them, and to place the least possible restriction on personal liberty
and exercise of constitutional rights consistent with due process and protection from abuse,
exploitation and neglect. (Acts 1977, No. 780, p. 1340, §1.)...

40-6A-1
Section 40-6A-1 Legislative intent. The Legislature recognizes the necessity of an equitable,
fair, and efficiently administered ad valorem tax program to the revenue producing functions
of government, both state and local, and it further recognizes that since the implementation
of statewide reappraisal of property and the equalization of ad valorem taxes in this state,
the complexity and burden on the officials charged with assessing and collecting such taxes
has greatly increased. Likewise, great disparity has developed among the various counties
of this state in both the adequacy of compensation of such officials and the distribution
of the cost of administering the ad valorem tax program among the various agencies and funds
receiving such taxes. Therefore, in order to secure the services of competent officials in
all counties of this state to administer the ad valorem tax program and to fairly distribute
the burden of funding the costs of such program, it is the intent of this...

41-10-420
Section 41-10-420 Legislative intent. The Legislature finds that the Real Estate Commission
has acquired certain real property in Montgomery, Alabama, title to which is in the name of
the State of Alabama, for the purpose of erecting a building to house the offices of the Real
Estate Commission. The Real Estate Commission has also received authority from the Legislature
to expend certain of its funds in the construction of such a facility. The Legislature further
finds that the Real Estate Commission is unable to complete this building project without
additional funding provided through temporary financing arrangements. Therefore, it is in
the best interest of the State of Alabama and Real Estate Commission to establish a public
corporation with the powers and authority necessary to construct and lease to the commission
a facility adequate to serve the needs of the commission. (Acts 1990, No. 90-293, p. 396,
§1.)...

the following findings and declarations: (1) The soils, water, and air of this state constitute
unique and delicately balanced resources. (2) The protection of these resources is vital to
the economy of this state. (3) The preservation of waters of this state is a matter of the
highest urgency and priority as these waters provide a primary source of potable water in

use accommodations necessary to provide the broadest possible promotion of public and private
interests. (b) The Legislature makes the following additional findings: (1) Where contamination
of soils, waters, or air has occurred, remedial measures have often been delayed for long
periods while investigations of the extent of such contamination and...

Calhoun County Judge of Probate and paid to the Calhoun County Commission. All of the tax
