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

Section 15-18-141 Legislative findings, etc. The Legislature hereby finds, determines and declares
that the right of crime victims to restitution is and ought to be intimately affected with
the public interest. The Legislature further hereby finds, determines, and declares that convicted
