Section 22-5B-2 Legislative findings. (a) The legislative findings, purpose, and intent of
this chapter are to develop the infrastructure for a statewide network of lifespan respite
programs in Alabama and for Alabama Respite to be the statewide entity to address issues relating
to respite care in our state. (b) The Alabama Legislature makes the following findings: (1)
Respite is short term temporary relief that can make a world of difference for family caregivers
of both children and adults with disabilities and other health care needs. (2) Respite is
one of the home and community-based services most requested by family caregivers, yet remains
in short supply. (3) As of 2012, over 818,000 adults in Alabama are caregivers for a family
member. (4) Respite helps preserve families by reducing stress, supporting stability, preventing

Section 25-8-32 Legislative findings and intent. The Legislature has found that Alabama law
has not kept pace with federal standards regulating the employment of minors to the extent
that it has become increasingly difficult for employers to comply with conflicting state and
federal child labor requirements. Accordingly, numerous changes are necessary to make the
child labor laws of Alabama compatible with the United States Department of Labor regulations
governing the employment of minors in nonagricultural occupations. Similarly, there is also
a need to remove anachronistic language and make clarifications to existing standards. In
view of the foregoing findings, the Legislature through this chapter intends to do all of
the following: (1) Conform with 17 federal hazardous orders. (2) Remove exemptions for domestic
service and the grading or handling, or both, of agricultural products. (3) Add a restriction
for occupations which involve working at heights exceeding six feet, as well...

Section 41-10-35 Legislative findings and intent. The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
imposes a "state ceiling" upon the aggregate principal amount of "private activity
bonds" which may be issued in any calendar year by or on behalf of a state and its political
subdivisions and instrumentalities, and establishes a method of allocating the available state
ceiling within each state. Authority is granted by the Internal Revenue Code, however, to
the states to provide for a different formula for allocation of the state ceiling. The Legislature
has found and determined that the allocation method contained in the Internal Revenue Code
is ill-suited for the needs of the State of Alabama and that the provisions of this division
will result in a more equitable and efficient distribution of the state ceiling available
to the state and will therefore promote the economic and industrial development of the state.
It is the intent of the Legislature by the passage of this division to...
