Section 22-30A-1 Legislative findings; purpose and intent of chapter. The Legislature
finds that hazardous substances have been treated, stored or disposed of at sites which are
inactive or abandoned and that such sites have the potential for deleterious impacts on groundwater,
human health or the environment. The Legislature, therefore, declares that it is in the public
interest to assure that such sites are identified and that action is taken to provide for
the cleanup and rehabilitation of such sites within the State of Alabama. The Legislature
intends that funds provided under this chapter be used primarily to clean up and rehabilitate
sites not qualified for or unlikely to receive funding under the Federal Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (42 U.S.C. §9601 et seq.) but that the funds
provided under this chapter may also be used to provide state matching funds for cleanups
and for operation and maintenance of sites which have completed...

Section 6-5-751 Legislative findings and objectives. (a) The Legislature finds that
the recruitment, establishment, development, and growth of the commercial aviation aircraft
manufacturing industry in the State of Alabama is important to the economic health of the
state and its agencies and institutions and to the general health, welfare, and prosperity
of its citizens. The Legislature finds that it is reasonable and important to the national
and international companies and businesses involved in the commercial aviation aircraft manufacturing
industry locating or considering locating in the State of Alabama to expect that civil liability
actions against them, if any, will be governed by tort principles generally accepted in other
jurisdictions outside this state that are home to such companies and businesses, but which
are consistent with the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, and this state's public policy. The
Legislature finds that the principles addressed in this article, namely,...

Section 27-1-10.1 Insurance coverage for drugs to treat life-threatening illnesses.
(a) The Legislature finds and declares the following: (1) The citizens of this state rely
upon health insurance to cover the cost of obtaining health care and it is essential that
the citizens' expectation that their health care costs will be paid by their insurance policies
is not disappointed and that they obtain the coverage necessary and appropriate for their
care within the terms of their insurance policies. (2) Some insurers deny payment for drugs
that have been approved by the Federal Food and Drug Administration, hereafter referred to
as FDA, when the drugs are used for indications other than those stated in the labelling approved
by the FDA, off-label use, while other insurers with similar coverage terms do pay for off-label
use. (3) Denial of payment for off-label use can interrupt or effectively deny access to necessary
and appropriate treatment for a person being treated for a...

27-26-2
Section 27-26-2 Purpose of chapter. It is hereby declared by the Legislature of the
State of Alabama that the availability of medical liability insurance at reasonable rates
for the medical profession, medical institutions, and other health care providers is essential
to provide adequate health services to the people of Alabama, and without such insurance,
medical services by the medical profession may be curtailed, and that while the need for such
insurance is increasing, availability is limited and likely to become increasingly so, unless
remedial legislation is enacted. The Legislature further finds and declares that by reason
of complicated and highly technical medical concepts, and the existence of sophisticated medical
techniques, decisions with respect to optional procedures of diagnosis and treatment have
become increasingly complex and are necessarily made on the basis of professional judgment,
on which opinions may and often will reasonably vary. It is the purpose of this...

41-6A-2
Section 41-6A-2 Legislative intent. The Legislature finds that the development, management
and efficient use of energy resources and the conservation of energy is of prime importance
in an era of rising costs, foreign dependence and uncertain supplies. At the same time it
is also important to protect the economic, social and environmental values of the citizens
of the state. Such responsibilities require a comprehensive, coordinated capacity on the part
of the state to respond to the needs and demands of her citizens. It is therefore the intent
of the Legislature: (1) To ensure the wise development and efficient use of traditional energy
sources; (2) To encourage and assist the development, the use of renewable energy resources,
demonstration, and placement in the marketplace of viable, alternative energy sources, more
efficient uses of energy sources and other appropriate technology; (3) To encourage the conservation
and efficient use of all energy resources and to provide a...

as follows: (1) That the health, safety, and welfare of the people of this state require the
provision of certain utility services, including water and sewer services; (2) That it is
necessary for the Legislature to provide additional methods by which the cities and counties
in the state may provide new and improve existing utility services facilities; (3) That historically
a significant portion of the funding of the costs of construction of such utility services
facilities has been provided through grants from the United States of America; (4) That, in

Section 22-21-312 Legislative findings and intent. The Legislature hereby finds and
declares: (1) That publicly-owned (as distinguished from investor-owned and community-nonprofit)
hospitals and other health care facilities furnish a substantial part of the indigent and
reduced-rate care and other health care services furnished to residents of the state by hospitals
and other health care facilities generally; (2) That as a result of current significant fiscal
and budgetary limitations or restrictions, the state and the various counties, municipalities,
and educational institutions therein are no longer able to provide, from taxes and other general
fund moneys, all the revenues and funds necessary to operate such publicly-owned hospitals
and other health care facilities adequately and efficiently; and (3) That to enable such publicly-owned
hospitals and other health care facilities to continue to operate adequately and efficiently,
it is necessary that the entities and agencies...

22-6-191
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.)...

Section 22-6-120 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds the following: (1) The
availability of appropriate pharmaceutical benefits to every Alabama citizen is a critical
component to the overall health of its population. (2) Alabama should strive to provide appropriate,
safe, effective, and cost-efficient pharmaceutical care to those who depend on health benefits
through state funded programs. (3) The Alabama Medicaid Agency should endeavor to manage the
Medicaid Pharmacy Program utilizing clinical management tools in a manner to foster optimal
health outcomes at reasonable costs. (4) State Medicaid programs and private insurance plans
across the country utilize preferred drug lists as an effective way to foster and encourage
clinically appropriate and safe use of pharmaceuticals in a cost-effective manner. (5) Based
on the proven effectiveness of preferred drug programs to foster appropriate use of drugs,
it is in the best interests of Alabama and its citizens for the Alabama...
