Section 5-27-1 (Effective January 1, 2018) Legislative findings. The Legislature finds and
declares the following: (1) Federal law allows both depository financial institutions and
credit unions to hold savings promotion contests, subject to certain conditions and authorization
under state law. (2) Savings promotion contests in other states and countries have led to
an increase in the number and amount of funds in personal savings accounts. (3) Savings promotion
contests encourage people to save money by adding a feature to personal savings accounts that
includes a chance to win prizes. (4) Savings promotion contests are not lotteries because
they do not require individuals to pay consideration for a chance to win a prize, and the
individual maintains ownership of the money that is deposited into a savings account or other
qualifying account. (5) The prizes are funded through the interest that accrues across the
pool of savings accounts participating in the promotion contest. (6) It is...

Section 6-5-155 Legislative findings and declarations. The Legislature finds and declares the
following: (1) There is a drug crisis in the State of Alabama which is plaguing our neighborhoods
and our housing and rental accommodations. (2) Drugs have caused an increase in crime and
violence and a deterioration in the habitability of housing and rental accommodations, as
well as diminished property values. (3) Currently there are inadequate incentives for property
owners to take a more active role in preventing the use of their property for the manufacture,
use, sale, storage, or distribution of drugs. (Acts 1996, No. 96-566, p. 849, §1.)...

8-23-1
Section 8-23-1 Legislative findings and declaration. The Legislature finds and declares that
there exist in connection with a substantial number of contracts for health studio services
certain practices and business and financing methods which have worked undue financial hardship
upon some of the citizens of our state, and that existing legal remedies are inadequate to
correct existing problems in the industry. The Legislature finds and declares that the health
studio industry has a significant impact upon the economy and well-being of the people of
the state and that the provisions of this chapter regulating health studio contracts are necessary
for the public welfare. (Acts 1984, No. 84-297, p. 661, §1.)...

Section 9-17-130 Legislative findings and declaration. The Legislature of the State of Alabama
finds and declares that the protection of Alabama's environment is vital to the economy of
this state; that coalbed methane gas wells are an important source of natural gas for use
in industry and by consumers thereof in Alabama and are becoming increasingly common in Alabama
as the technology for such wells advances; that the broadest possible promotion of public
and private interests requires that coalbed methane gas wells be properly plugged when abandoned;
that delays therein may affect the environment or public health, safety and welfare; that
adequate financial resources be readily available to provide for the expeditious plugging
of such wells and to provide a means for doing so without delay; that the Legislature has
heretofore authorized the State Oil and Gas Board of Alabama to require that operators of
such wells provide evidence of financial responsibility to cover the costs of...

11-100-2
Section 11-100-2 Legislative findings. The Legislature hereby finds and determines that: (1)
The convention industry is a vital and beneficial industry for the State of Alabama and promotes
the health, welfare, progress, and physical and economic well-being of the people of this
state. (2) Adequate facilities are essential to the proper development of the meeting and
entertainment industries. Adequate convention facilities are often not self-supporting so
as to permit their financing with revenue bonds, but generate economic activity and stimulate
business and commerce in the affected locality, and throughout the state, through increased
demand for goods and services furnished by restaurants, hotels, places of entertainment, as
well as stores, shops and other establishments, and, as a consequence, they generate additional
state and local tax revenues. (3) It is in the interest of the state and its cities and counties,
for the state to assist any city, county, and entities or...

Section 11-54-126 Legislative findings and intent. (a) The Legislature hereby finds and declares
all of the following: (1) That industrial development boards have been, and may hereafter
be, organized, under the provisions of either industrial development board act, to promote
industry, develop trade, and further the use of the agricultural products and natural and
human resources of the State of Alabama and the development and preservation of such resources.
(2) That in order to enable all industrial development boards to act more effectively to promote
both the establishment of new business, manufacturing, industrial, commercial, service, and
research enterprises, and the expansion of such enterprises already existing in Alabama, it
is advisable that they be empowered to receive, manage, use, and expend contributions from
private sources that are separate from and in addition to any other moneys or other properties
that such boards are empowered by law to expend or to own. (3) That...

16-61E-1
Section 16-61E-1 Legislative findings; purpose. The Legislature finds that information technology
is an area of rapid change in which specialized knowledge and equipment are often essential.
The Legislature further recognizes that substantial savings may be realized by aggregating
the purchasing power of educational institutions. The Legislature therefore desires to authorize
the joint purchase of information technology and further recognizes that in an effort to truly
have fair and competitive bidding as well as ensure quality vendors, any companies that have
ISO-9001 certification or any companies or contractors whose affiliates, subdivisions, subsidiaries,
or departments have ISO-9001 certification can bid on the information technology to be jointly
purchased by educational institutions. (Act 2003-392, p. 1111, §1.)...

22-21-261
Section 22-21-261 Legislative findings; purpose of article. The Legislature of the State of
Alabama declares that it is the public policy of the State of Alabama that a certificate of
need program be administered in the state to assure that only those health care services and
facilities found to be in the public interest shall be offered or developed in the state.
It is the purpose of the Legislature in enacting this article to prevent the construction
of unnecessary and inappropriate health care facilities through a system of mandatory reviews
of new institutional health services, as the same are defined in this article. (Acts 1977,
1st Ex. Sess., No. 82, p. 1509, §1; Acts 1982, 2nd Ex. Sess., No. 82-770, p. 249, §2.)...

38-15-2
Section 38-15-2 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds that there is a substantial need
to protect children and youth from abuse and neglect by persons entrusted with their physical
custody, and from persons or organizations that advertise, hold themselves out, or lead others
to believe that they will provide them with health, therapeutic, rehabilitative, or disciplinary
services, and from persons employed or exercising authority over them, and who they depend
upon to provide the basic necessities of life. The Legislature further finds that abuse and
neglect often take the form of the withholding of the basic necessities of life, including
food, water, shelter, clothing, and health care through an affirmative act or omission. It
is the intent of the Legislature to implement a baseline of registration and regulation requirements
for religious, faith-based, or church nonprofit, other nonprofit, and for profit affiliated
youth residential facilities and institutions that have...

45-35-20
Section 45-35-20 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds all of the following: (1) The
authority of the Legislature to enact local laws regulating the liquor traffic is preserved
in Section 104 of the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, now appearing as Section 104 of the
Official Recompilation of the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, as amended. (2) Relying on
prior judicial opinions of the federal courts, it has been clearly established that reducing
the secondary effects associated with adult entertainment businesses serves and furthers a
substantial governmental interest, particularly when the serving of alcohol is involved. (3)
Any form of nudity and sexual conduct in establishments that serve alcohol or deal in alcoholic
beverages encourages the conduct of prostitution, attempted rape, rape, murder, and assaults
on police officers in and around an establishment dealing in or permitting the consumption
of alcoholic beverages, and that actual and simulated nudity and sexual conduct...
