Section 38-12-31 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds and declares the following: (1)
There exists in this state a number of children who cannot reside with their parents, legal
guardians, or legal custodians because of such parents', legal guardians', or custodians'
incapacity or inability to perform the regular and expected functions of care and support
of the children and family care and who thereby come to the attention of juvenile court and
into the care and custody of the Department of Human Resources. (2) An increasing number of
relatives, including grandparents, find themselves wanting to provide care to related foster
children on a long-term basis to prevent the children from remaining in foster care with unrelated
caregivers yet these relatives are either unable or unwilling to seek termination of the legal
relationships between the parent and the child, particularly when it is the caregiver's own
child or sibling who is the parent. (3) It is in the public interest to...

Section 11-32-1 Legislative findings. (a) The Legislature finds, determines, and hereby declares
that, in counties having a population of not less than 600,000, there are conditions present
that are not present in counties with lesser populations. Those conditions include, but are
not limited to, the following: (1) The excessive growth in private vehicular traffic in the
counties is placing excessive burdens upon the road systems and parking facilities, especially
in commercial and industrial districts and in areas of high population density, which cannot
be alleviated by private vehicular traffic. (2) The number of vehicular miles the average
citizen of those counties travels per day is among the highest nationally in terms of miles
and commuting times. (3) The projected continued economic growth of the counties and the general
health and welfare of the citizens of the counties require those counties to provide the enhanced
availability of public transportation facilities, operations,...

the right to control the decisions relating to the rendering of their own medical care, including,
without limitation, the decision to have medical procedures, life-sustaining treatment, and

1993, Public Law 103-209, 42 U.S.C. § 5119, et seq., the states are permitted to implement

or individuals with disabilities as defined in this chapter. The Legislature finds that there
is an important state interest and it is in the best interest of the children, the elderly,

Section 16-68-1 (Effective July 1, 2020) Legislative findings. The Legislature makes the following
findings: (1) Article I, Section 4 of the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, recognizes that
all persons may speak, write, and publish their sentiments on all subjects, and that "no
law shall ever be passed to curtail or restrain the liberty of speech...." (2) Alabama's
public institutions of higher education have historically embraced a commitment to freedom
of speech and expression. (3) The United States Supreme Court has called public universities
"peculiarly the marketplace of ideas," Healy v. James, 408 U.S. 169, 180 (1972),
where young adults learn to exercise those constitutional rights necessary to participate
in our system of government and to tolerate the exercise of those rights by others, and there
is "no room for the view that First Amendment protections should apply with less force
on college campuses than in the community at large." Healy, 408 U.S. at 180. (4) The
United...
