Section 29-1-24 Ozone transport oversight. (a) This section may be referred to as the Ozone
Transport Oversight Act of 1997. (b) The Legislature of the State of Alabama finds all of
the following: (1) The Federal Clean Air Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq., contains
a comprehensive regulatory scheme for the control of emissions from mobile and stationary
sources. (2) Ozone and other air pollutants have declined substantially during the past 25
years throughout the United States due to implementation of the Clean Air Act, and additional
air quality improvements will result as the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments are implemented.
(3) The Northeast Ozone Transport Commission ("OTC"), in an effort to remedy the
serious ozone nonattainment conditions prevailing in urbanized areas of the Northeast, has
proposed emission control requirements for stationary and mobile sources more stringent than
those applicable to states outside of the Northeast Ozone Transport Region ("OTR"),

Section 34-24-601 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds that the diversion, abuse, and
misuse of prescription medications classified as controlled substances under the Alabama Uniform
Controlled Substances Act constitute a serious threat to the health, safety, and welfare of
the citizens of the State of Alabama. The Legislature further finds that the registration
of all physicians providing pain management services, as defined in this article, will assist
the Alabama Board of Medical Examiners in preventing the diversion, abuse, and misuse of controlled
substances by regulating these registrants. The Legislature further finds that it is in the
best interests of the public safety to give the Board of Medical Examiners the authority it
needs to suspend the registration of these physicians providing pain management services when
the public health, safety, or welfare requires immediate action. (Act 2013-257, p. 673, §1.)...

Section 6-5-751 Legislative findings and objectives. (a) The Legislature finds that the recruitment,
establishment, development, and growth of the commercial aviation aircraft manufacturing industry
in the State of Alabama is important to the economic health of the state and its agencies
and institutions and to the general health, welfare, and prosperity of its citizens. The Legislature
finds that it is reasonable and important to the national and international companies and
businesses involved in the commercial aviation aircraft manufacturing industry locating or
considering locating in the State of Alabama to expect that civil liability actions against
them, if any, will be governed by tort principles generally accepted in other jurisdictions
outside this state that are home to such companies and businesses, but which are consistent
with the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, and this state's public policy. The Legislature
finds that the principles addressed in this article, namely,...

(1) That in order to promote the public health of the people of the State of Alabama, the

26-22-1
Section 26-22-1 Legislative findings and intent. (a) The public policy of the State of Alabama
is to protect life, born, and unborn. This is particularly true concerning unborn life that
is capable of living outside the womb. The Legislature of the State of Alabama finds there
are abortions being done in Alabama after the time of viability and in violation of its public
policy. (b) The Legislature specifically finds the following: (1) Medical evidence shows there
is a survival rate of babies born between ages 23 weeks to 29 weeks gestational age of 64
percent to 94 percent. (2) In Webster v. Reproductive Health Services, 492 U.S. 499 (1989),
the United States Supreme Court determined that viability may occur as early as 23 to 24 weeks
gestational age. Also, the United States Supreme Court determined that requiring fetal viability
testing at 20 weeks gestational age is constitutional, because there is up to a four week
margin of error in determining gestational age. (3) In the latest...

Section 37-11B-2 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds and determines that: (1) There
exists in the State of Alabama a continuing need to construct, improve, and invest in rail

rail infrastructure within the State of Alabama, including, but not limited to, the construction
of such additional rail lines or tracks as may be necessary or advisable, the maintenance
and improvement of the existing rail infrastructure, and the prudent use of state funds to
take advantage of any opportunities for federal funding assistance that may be available.
