Section 45-37A-331.01 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds and declares the following:
(1) Accident data establishes that vehicles running red lights have been and are a dangerous
problem in Midfield, Alabama. (2) Studies have found that automated traffic camera enforcement
in a municipal area is a highly accurate method for detecting red light violations and is
very effective in reducing the number of red light violations and decreasing the number of
traffic accidents, deaths, and injuries. (3) Current Alabama law provides that failing to
stop and remain stopped at a traffic control signal which is emitting a steady red signal
is a criminal misdemeanor. Under Alabama law one who commits such a misdemeanor is subject
to prosecution only if the misdemeanor was witnessed by either a duly empowered police officer
or other witness who makes a verified complaint to a sworn magistrate. (4) Many jurisdictions,
including the City of Midfield, have adopted laws that allow the use of...

Section 45-49-42 Legislative findings. The Legislature of the State of Alabama declares and
finds that the business of operating massage parlors as defined herein are businesses affecting
the public health, safety, and general welfare; that such businesses have been used in Mobile
County and elsewhere as fronts for the conduct of prostitution, assignation, and lewdness;
that the method of operation of such business generally is such that female persons bargain
with male customers for illicit sexual activities, including prostitution and sodomy, only
after performing so-called massages while the male customer is nude, and after engaging the
customer as part of the so-called massage in sexual foreplay to the point of sexual arousal;
that because of the method of operation the gathering of evidence by law enforcement officers
sufficient for the officers to make an arrest or to institute some other civil proceeding
requires male officers to pose as customers, and to perform degrading,...

Section 8-22-2 Legislative findings. The Legislature makes the following findings with respect
to the marketing of motor fuel in Alabama: (1) Marketing of motor fuel is affected with the
public interest. (2) Unfair competition in the marketing of motor fuel occurs whenever costs
associated with the marketing of motor fuel are recovered from other operations, allowing
the refined motor fuel to be sold at subsidized prices. Such subsidies most commonly occur
in one of three ways: when refiners use profits from refining of crude oil to cover below
normal or negative returns earned from motor fuel marketing operations; and where a marketer
with more than one location uses profits from one location to cover losses from below-cost
selling of motor fuel at another location. (3) Independent motor fuel marketers (i.e., dealers,
distributors, jobbers, and wholesalers) are unable to survive predatory subsidized pricing
at the marketing level by persons when all of an independent's income comes...

That patterns of urban development have had substantial adverse impacts upon downtown and
community business districts vital to the economy of the State of Alabama. (2) That the public
interest would be advanced by authorizing the creation of self-help business improvement districts

growth in business districts. (3) That the public interest would also be advanced by authorizing
the creation of self-help business districts for the promotion of tourism that include businesses
of a designated class and funding supplemental business services through the levy of assessments
on businesses of the designated class that receive benefits from those supplemental business
services. (4) That a district management corporation representing real property owners, or
in certain cases, owners of a particular class of...

to high quality public schools. (2) It is necessary to continue to search for ways to strengthen
the academic performance of elementary and secondary public school students. (3) Different

make the best education-related decisions regarding their students. (5) Parents and local
educators have a right and responsibility to actively participate in the educational institutions

25-8-32
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...

26-23A-2
Section 26-23A-2 Legislative findings; purpose. (a) The Legislature of the State of Alabama
finds that: (1) It is essential to the psychological and physical well-being of a woman considering
an abortion that she receive complete and accurate information on her alternatives. (2) Most
abortions are performed in clinics devoted solely to providing abortions and family planning
services. Most women who seek abortions at these facilities do not have any relationship with
the physician who performs the abortion, before or after the procedure. Most women do not
return to the facility for post-surgical care. In most instances, the woman's only actual
contact with the physician occurs simultaneously with the abortion procedure, with little
opportunity to receive counseling concerning her decision. (3) The decision to abort is an
important, and often a stressful one, and it is desirable and imperative that it be made with
full knowledge of its nature and consequences. The medical, emotional,...

26-23E-2
Section 26-23E-2 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds all of the following: (1) That
the percentage of abortion or reproductive health centers that have been subject to adverse
licensure action vastly exceeds the percentage of facilities in any other category that have
similarly been subject to adverse licensure actions. This alarming level of regulatory non-compliance
among abortion and reproductive health centers in Alabama puts abortion patients at unreasonable
risk. (2) At abortion or reproductive health centers, patients are often treated in a manner
inconsistent with a traditional physician/patient relationship. (3) Abortion or reproductive
health centers are not operated in the same manner as ambulatory surgical treatment centers
or physician offices. (4) Abortion involves not only a surgical procedure with the usual risks
attending surgery, but also involves the taking of human life. (5) Abortion is a highly personal
and very sensitive procedure which results in stress...
