Section 22-19-140 Legislative intent. (a) The Legislature of Alabama is acutely aware
of the serious shortage of organs needed for transplantation. In its concern with this shortage
of organs, the Legislature intends to establish in this article, a mechanism for the requesting
of donor organs of any person who has died in a hospital and has not made an anatomical gift
to take effect upon death. (b) The Legislature of Alabama believes the citizens of Alabama
are compassionate and loving, and, in the appropriate circumstances, will respond to the request
for organs for transplantation in that such a gift is, many times, literally, a "gift
of life". (c) It is also the intent of the Legislature of Alabama to encourage organ
donation in Alabama by establishing "The Lifesaving Organ Procurement Act of 1986."
(Acts 1986, No. 86-226, p. 333, ยง1.)...

Section 22-19-120 Legislative intent. (a) The acquisition and transportation and transplantation
of donor organs, bones and tissues is becoming more common place as new scientific and technological
developments find better ways to conquer the human body's rejection of such transplanted organs,
bones and tissues. In its concern that donee recipients be provided the best possible quality
assurance that such donated organs, bones and tissues, retrieved in Alabama are free from
any contagious or communicable disease or defect, the Legislature intends to establish in
this article a framework for the development of appropriate standards of care and quality
assurance for the acquisition and/or transportation of organs, bones and tissues retrieved
in Alabama. (b) It is also the intent of this article to recognize and utilize the quality
assurance already developed in Alabama by the Department of Surgery of the School of Medicine,
at the University of Alabama at Birmingham Medical Center by...

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...

Section 34-24-291 Purpose of article. (a) Shortages of all skilled health personnel,
both physicians and others, new scientific and technological developments and new methods
of organizing health services have made the question of new uses for allied health personnel
the critical issue to be resolved if our supply of health manpower is to be used effectively
and productively. In its concern with the growing shortage and geographic maldistribution
of health care services in Alabama, the Legislature intends to establish in this article a
framework for legal recognition and development of new categories of health manpower - assistants
to physicians. (b) It is also the intent of this article to encourage the more effective utilization
of the skills of physicians by enabling them to delegate certain health care tasks to qualified
assistants to physicians where such delegation is consistent with the patient's health and
