Section 22-4-31 Legislative findings. The Legislature does hereby set out the following findings and reasons for passage of this article. Alabama has adopted a system of health planning and development administered by the State Health Planning and Development Agency (SHPDA). In addition, the Statewide Health Coordinating Council (SHCC) is charged with reviewing Alabama's health planning needs and writing the State Health Plan to assist the Certificate of Need Review Board. The Certificate of Need Review Board is responsible for reviewing and approving certificate of need applications in Alabama. There is no current systematic way for the SHPDA, SHCC, or the Certificate of Need Review Board to collect all the health care services information necessary for proper health care planning in Alabama, because reporting to SHPDA is voluntary. The Legislature hereby finds and determines that collection of additional health care information is necessary for informed statewide health planning. The...

Section 28-4A-6 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds that it is in the best interest of the public welfare of the State of Alabama to preserve and redevelop the downtown municipal areas and registered historic districts and certain economically distressed areas of this state and to further promote the preservation and redevelopment of historic buildings and sites. The Legislature finds that an effective way of facilitating the urban redevelopment program and the preservation of historic buildings and sites, and registered historic districts and any economically distressed area designated as suitable by the municipal or county governing body is by creating a single exception to the existing alcoholic beverage laws to authorize and permit the establishment of brewpubs located in such historic buildings, sites, or districts in urban redevelopment areas or economically distressed areas of those municipalities located within counties where the brewing of beer for consumption by the...

Section 11-92A-2 Legislative findings of fact and declaration of intent; construction of article. (a) The Legislature hereby makes the following findings of fact and declares its intent to be as follows: In recent years changes have taken place in the economy of the state that have had a far-reaching effect on the welfare of its citizens. The agrarian economy that once prevailed in the state and provided the principal means of livelihood for most of its citizens has proven inadequate to provide employment for the state's growing population. The advent of mechanized and scientific farming methods has reduced greatly the number of persons required to obtain increased yields of agricultural products from land under cultivation. There has been a correspondingly greater dependency upon industrial development as the bulwark of the economy of the state. It is therefore appropriate and necessary that measures be taken to secure to the citizens of the state the benefits of a strengthening...

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.)...
