Section 22-6-191 Legislative intent. The intent of this article is to allow the only
PACE provider in the State of Alabama to continue to provide services to nursing home eligible
patients as the PACE program provides treatment to patients for fewer federal and state taxpayer
dollars than other programs existing in the state. The Legislature declares that this article
is broad-based in nature as the assessment herein is imposed on all health care or services
in the class of providers and is uniformly imposed across all providers. The Legislature further
declares that the entire PACE industry in Alabama exists only in Class 2 municipalities. The
Legislature further recognizes that a Class 2 municipality bill is a general bill under the
Alabama Constitution. (Act 2014-126, p. 236, §2.)...
