Section 36-21-11 Preference given to police officers and fire fighters suffering from diseases
without known cure in admission to research programs. Whereas the sworn, full-time, regular
employed state, county and municipal police officers of this state are required by law and
policy to enforce the penal laws of the State of Alabama; and fire fighters must expose themselves
to the dangers of fire suppression and hazardous material incident control; and in so doing
augment the dangers inherent in such duty; it is the sense of the Legislature of Alabama that
if such police officers or fire fighters contract any disease deemed crippling or fatal, because
of the lack of a known cure, such police officers or fire fighters shall be given preferential
treatment towards admission to any research program at any state-owned or supported medical
facility, hospital or learning center in the State of Alabama. (Acts 1985, No. 85-542, p.
