Section 6-5-540 Legislative intent. It is hereby declared by the Legislature of the State of
Alabama that a crisis threatens the delivery of medical services to the people of Alabama

the previous declaration of Legislature contained in Act 513 of the Regular Session of the

Section 27-54-1 Legislative intent; public policy. (a) The Legislature finds the following:
(1) Mental illness affects many citizens of this state each year, resulting in anguish, grief,
desperation, fear, isolation, and a sense of hopelessness of significant levels among victims

of mental illness with nonexistent or limited benefits compared to provisions for other illnesses.
(4) Experience in this state and several other states demonstrates that the risk of mental

the boards establish and the trustees operate the trusts in compliance with the Internal Revenue
Code of the United States of America in a manner which would allow the trusts to maximize

thereof) which conflicts with that legislative intent or would prevent or unreasonably hinder
the accomplishment of the purposes of this chapter. (Act 2007-16, 1st Sp. Sess., p. 25, §7.)...
