Section 22-23B-1 Legislative findings. The Legislature hereby finds and declares that the following
facts are true and correct: The 104th Congress of the United States of America has recently
enacted into law amendments to Public Law 104-182 (the "federal act") commonly known
as the "Safe Drinking Water Act;" Congress, in the federal act, has determined that
the federal government is committed to maintaining and improving its partnership with the
states in the administration and implementation of the federal act; Congress has, in the federal
act, determined that the requirements of the federal act with respect to safe drinking water
will impose new requirements that may exceed the financial and technical capacity of many
public water systems; The federal act authorizes state revolving loan funds and authorizes

45-49-21.20
Section 45-49-21.20 Legislative findings. (a) The Legislature is cognizant of Opinion of the
Justices No. 376, issued April 9, 2002, which states that a local bill for Washington County
"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
limit situations in which local laws may be enacted regarding alcoholic beverages. This opinion,
in part, was 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 Section 104....

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...

all of the following: (1) That industrial development boards have been, and may hereafter

16-6C-1
Section 16-6C-1 Legislative findings. (a) Just as there is value in assigning grades that reflect
the performance of public school students in Alabama, the Legislature finds that there is
also value in assigning grades that reflect the performance of the public schools attended
by public school students in Alabama. The Legislature further finds that an easy to understand
school grading system would best serve the interests of the public as a whole, and specifically
the parents and guardians of public school students, by providing another transparent layer
of accountability for the public dollars allocated to elementary and secondary education in
the state. (b) The Legislature also finds that there is a need for a program to reward public
K-12 schools in Alabama that demonstrate high achievement. The Legislature further finds that
performance-based incentives and increased autonomy are commonplace in the private sector
and should be infused into the public sector as a reward for...

56 of the Official Recompilation of the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, as amended, contains

as follows: "[T]he day-to-day work of [legislative] aides is so critical to the Members'
performance that they must be treated as the latter's alter ego;...

the Legislature by the passage of this part to authorize the county to levy and provide for
the collection of, in addition to all other taxes authorized by law, except as provided in
