Section 16-57-5 Funding from Education Trust Fund. The Legislature finds that Tuskegee University
has a unique relationship to the State of Alabama. The Legislature further finds that due
to the unique nature of the circumstances related to the establishment and development of
Tuskegee Institute which differs from that of private schools and colleges receiving funds
from the state and from the state's public colleges and universities, the institution should
be afforded a unique treatment relative to funding from the Education Trust Fund. Tuskegee
Institute was established by an act of the Legislature in 1881 and separately incorporated
by an act of the Legislature in 1892; the Governor appoints five commissioners who serve as
voting members on the Tuskegee Board; and the State Superintendent of Education serves as
an ex officio voting commissioner on the Tuskegee Board. Tuskegee has received appropriations
from the Legislature since 1881. Being a private institution as well as a state...

Section 16-6B-11 Paperwork Reduction Committee. (a) The Legislature finds that the excessive
paperwork required of teachers and other public education employees hinders the prime responsibility
of public education: The education of the children of Alabama. The Legislature also finds
that excessive and time-consuming reporting requirements levied on school systems requires
automation in order to for timely reporting to occur. The Legislature further finds that the
excessive paperwork required of teachers has become so burdensome that teachers do not have
adequate time to prepare lesson plans or to devote individual attention to those students
who require special assistance. The Legislature further finds that, for teachers to have time
to teach, it is imperative that all unnecessary paperwork be eliminated from our public schools
and necessary paperwork be automated to the maximum practical extent. (b) The Paperwork Reduction
Committee is created. The membership of the committee shall...

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...
