Section 22-3A-1 Legislative findings and declarations. The Legislature hereby finds and declares
that it is necessary, desirable and in the public interest that additional facilities be made
available in this state for public health purposes. It is the intention of the Legislature
by the passage of this chapter to authorize the formation of a public corporation for the
purposes of providing for the acquisition, construction, improvement and equipment of public
health facilities and to improve such existing facilities for use by the State Board of Health
and county board(s) of health throughout this state in carrying out the duties and powers
imposed upon or vested in them; to authorize the said corporation to provide for payment of
the costs of the said facilities by the issuance of bonds of the corporation; and to pledge
the proceeds of such bonds and other revenues that may be available to it for payment of the
debt service on said bonds. (Acts 1990, No. 90-598, §1.)...

Section 36-29-20 Legislative findings and intent. The Legislature finds that private employers
have provided their employees with flexible employee benefit plans which provide a savings
both to the employer and the employee, and that the State of Alabama, its departments and
agencies, may provide the same tax-effective benefits to its employees. It is, therefore,
the intent of the Legislature to provide for the establishment of a "cafeteria plan"
or flexible employee benefit plan in compliance with the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, with
every effort being used to utilize the existing resources of the state Comptroller to implement
said plan in conjunction with the Flexible Employees Benefits Board. (Acts 1989, No. 89-644,
p. 1272, §1.)...

Section 45-45-82.51 Legislative findings. The Legislature hereby finds and declares the following:
(1) The Madison County Judicial System faces a severe crisis. The Twenty-third Judicial Circuit
has the highest caseload in Alabama. The number of criminal cases has doubled during the last
five years, resulting in a backlog of almost 4,500 cases, including approximately 18 capital
murder cases. Some defendants have been awaiting trial for almost five years. The caseload
facing prosecutors is staggering. Individual drug crime prosecutors are assigned in excess
of 500 cases and it is not uncommon for each prosecutor to prepare to try 60 cases on a single
week's docket. The sheer number of criminal defendants is so large that judges cannot bring
them all into the courtroom without violating an order of the Madison County Fire Marshal.
(2) While faced with these virtually insurmountable problems, the state budget for fiscal
year 2004 has required the system to bear cuts so draconian that the...

Section 9-13-271 Legislative findings. (a) The Legislature hereby finds and declares that the
application of prescribed burning is a landowner property right and a land management tool
that benefits the safety of the public, the environment, the natural resources, and the economy
of Alabama. Therefore, the Legislature finds that: (1) Prescribed burning reduces naturally
occurring vegetative fuels within wildland areas. The reduction of the fuel load reduces the
risk and severity of major catastrophic wildfire, thereby reducing the threat of loss of life
and property, particularly in urbanizing areas. (2) Many of Alabama's natural communities
require periodic fire for maintenance of their ecological integrity. Prescribed burning is
essential to the perpetuation, restoration, and management of many plant and animal communities.
Significant loss of the state's biological diversity will occur if fire is excluded from fire-dependent
ecosystems. (3) Forest lands constitute significant...

11-54B-1
Section 11-54B-1 Legislative findings. (a) The Legislature finds: (1) That patterns of urban
development have had a substantial adverse impact upon downtown and community business districts
vital to the economies of Class 1 municipalities in Alabama. (2) That the public interest
would be advanced by authorizing the creation of self-help business improvement districts
and district management corporations to assist Class 1 municipalities in promoting economic
growth in business districts. (3) That district management corporations representing real
property owners within self-help business improvement districts can assist Class 1 municipalities
in promoting economic growth and employment within business districts. (4) That Class 1 municipalities
should be authorized to create self-help business improvement districts and designate district
management corporations to execute self-help programs to improve the local business climates.
(b) The Legislature further finds that it is the public...

Section 16-25A-40 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds that private employers have provided
their employees with flexible employee benefit plans which provide a savings both to the employer
and the employee, and that the State of Alabama, its departments and agencies, may provide
the same tax-effective benefits to its public education employees. It is, therefore, the intent
of the Legislature to provide for the establishment of one statewide, universal "cafeteria
plan" or flexible employee benefit plan to be made available to all employees in public
education in compliance with the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and to implement the plan
in accordance with the rules and regulations established by the Public Education Flexible
Employees' Benefit Board created by this article. (Act 2004-650, 1st Sp. Sess., p. 31, §1.)...

Section 34-8B-1 Legislative findings. The Legislature hereby finds and declares that it is
the policy of the state to promote the skill, art, and practice of court reporting in order
to assure that court reporters possess the necessary skills and qualifications and that a
board be established to prescribe the qualifications of court reporters and to issue licenses
to persons who demonstrate their ability and fitness for the licenses. This chapter is intended
to establish and maintain a standard of competency for individuals engaged in the practice
of court reporting and for the protection of the public, in general, and for the litigants
whose rights to personal freedom and property are affected by the competency of court reporters.
The examination, licensing, and supervision of the conduct and proficiency of court reporters
are integrally related to the effective, impartial, and prompt operation of the judicial system
of the State of Alabama. (Act 2006-200, p. 289, §1.)...
