Section 12-23-2 Legislative findings and intent. The Legislature finds that the high incidence
of crimes which directly involve alcohol and drugs in this state is intolerable; that the
problems of alcohol and drug abuse among the citizens of Alabama are extensive and exist at
an unacceptable level; that alcohol and/or drug abuse or dependency have been identified as
contributing factors in the commission of many crimes; that a concentrated and coordinated
state and local effort is needed to address the needs of Alabamians regarding such problems;
that a specialized system for screening, evaluating, educating, and rehabilitating defendants
convicted of alcohol and drug related offenses is required to address such problems; and that
adequate funding should be provided for this purpose. It is therefore the intent of the Legislature:
To establish a specialized court referral officer program to promote the evaluation, education
and rehabilitation of persons whose use or dependency on...

to assist Alabama in the development of a more permanent, profitable, and diversified agriculture
by moving to the forefront of industrial hemp production, development, and commercialization
of hemp products in agribusiness, and other business sectors, both nationally and globally

may include the planting, cultivation, and analysis of industrial hemp demonstration plots
by selected growers that are licensed by the department pursuant to this article. (2) An institution
of higher education's program to conduct industrial hemp research. (3) The pursuit by the

Section 22-19-71.1 Promotion of organ donation through the application and renewal process
for driver's licenses. (a) This section shall be named Angelynn and Courtney's Law. (b) The
Legislature finds: (1) There is an acute need for organ donors in Alabama and throughout the
nation. (2) According to the United Network for Organ Sharing, more than 121,000 people are
waiting for an organ transplant nationally, and a new person is added to the waiting list
every 18 minutes. (3) In Alabama, more than 3,300 people are waiting for an organ transplant.
(4) For an average of 19 people per day, the wait is too long and they die before a suitable
organ is available. (5) The Revised Uniform Anatomical Gift Act currently provides for notice
of intent to make an organ donation upon the donor's death. (6) A checkoff on a driver's license
to be an organ donor has been a very successful way to encourage organ donation, but more
can be done to provide greater education and public awareness regarding...
