Section 41-17A-1 Legislative findings. (a) The Legislature of Alabama makes the following findings
and statements: (1) Energy use associated with the operation of state motor vehicle fleets
exacerbates local air quality problems and results in greenhouse gas emissions that contribute
to global climate change. (2) Agencies and departments of state government have a significant
role to play in improving local air quality and reducing greenhouse gas emissions by improving

36-36-1
Section 36-36-1 Legislative findings. The Legislature of Alabama hereby finds and determines
that the funding of accrued and accruing health care benefits to retired employees and their
dependents is a proper governmental function and purpose of the state. The Governmental Accounting
Standards Board has issued Statements 43 and 45, which set forth standards on accounting and
reporting for post-employment benefits other than pensions by governments. The new standards
will require the state to account for such post-employment benefits on an actuarial basis
during an employee's career rather than on a pay-as-you-go basis during the employee's period
of retirement. The Legislature has determined that it would be advisable for the state to
create irrevocable trusts whereby the state may begin funding those benefits in advance to
address and ultimately offset the state's accrued liabilities for such benefits. Therefore,
the state, the State Employees' Insurance Board, and the Public...

Section 26-23A-2 Legislative findings; purpose. (a) The Legislature of the State of Alabama
finds that: (1) It is essential to the psychological and physical well-being of a woman considering
an abortion that she receive complete and accurate information on her alternatives. (2) Most
abortions are performed in clinics devoted solely to providing abortions and family planning
services. Most women who seek abortions at these facilities do not have any relationship with
the physician who performs the abortion, before or after the procedure. Most women do not
return to the facility for post-surgical care. In most instances, the woman's only actual
contact with the physician occurs simultaneously with the abortion procedure, with little
opportunity to receive counseling concerning her decision. (3) The decision to abort is an
important, and often a stressful one, and it is desirable and imperative that it be made with
full knowledge of its nature and consequences. The medical, emotional,...

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
and rail infrastructure within the state. A strong rail infrastructure promotes economic development
and employment opportunities and promotes the public good and general welfare of the state.
(2) The public purpose of this chapter is to develop a coordinated program related to the
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.
