that the advancement and improvement of higher education in the State of Alabama is a proper

Section 22-4B-2 Legislative intent. The Legislature of Alabama finds that there exists
a critical shortage of registered nurses who are willing and able to provide health care to
citizens in rural areas of Alabama. Such shortage is particularly acute in rural areas, and
has a negative impact on the availability of care to low income and indigent citizens of Alabama
who reside in rural areas. The Legislature further finds that there are many dedicated employees
of the Alabama Department of Public Health who are disqualified from training as registered
nurses solely by reason of their inability to finance the cost of attending school to obtain
the requisite degree. Such employees are also prevented or retarded in career advancement
because of a lack of education. It is the intent of the Legislature in adopting this chapter
to address the nursing shortage in county health departments and in federally-funded community
health centers in rural areas and to provide opportunities for career...

incidence of crimes which directly involve alcohol and drugs in this state is intolerable;
