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.
781, §1.)...

Section 11-65-1 Legislative declarations and findings. The Legislature hereby finds and declares
as follows: (1) As the basis for enacting Act No. 84-131, the Legislature found and determined
that the conduct within Class 1 municipalities in the state of horse racing events and pari-mutuel
wagering thereon will generate additional revenues for governmental and charitable purposes,
provide additional jobs for the residents of the state and benefit the businesses related
to tourism and recreation within any such municipality and throughout the surrounding areas
of the state; it is desirable to permit the qualified voters of any Class 1 municipality to
determine through referendum whether horse racing and pari-mutuel wagering thereon will be
permitted in such municipality; and for each Class 1 municipality in which horse racing is

Section 12-23A-3 Legislative intent. (a) The Legislature recognizes that a critical need exists
in this state for the criminal justice system to more effectively address the number of defendants
who are involved with substance abuse or addiction. For the criminal justice system to maintain
credibility, court and community alternatives for the substance abuse and addiction involved
defendant must be expanded. A growing body of research demonstrates the impact of substance
abuse on public safety, personal health, and health care costs, the spread of communicable
disease, educational performance and attainment, work force reliability and productivity,
family safety, and financial stability. Requiring accountability and effective treatment,
in addition to or in place of, conventional and expensive incarceration, will promote public
safety, the welfare of the individuals involved, reduce the burden upon the State Treasury
and benefit the common welfare of this state. The goals of this...
