costs of the administration, and to provide a means by which sales and use taxes may be levied
and collected from those remote sellers located outside of this state which deliver inside

Section 22-35-8 Rehabilitation of contamination sites. (a) The Legislature finds that in order
to provide for the expeditious rehabilitation of contamination sites, voluntary rehabilitation
of contamination sites should be encouraged, provided that such rehabilitation is conducted
in a manner and to a level of completion which will protect the public health, safety, and
welfare and will minimize damage to the environment. To accomplish this purpose, the commission
shall promulgate rules and regulations for the approval and compensation of response action
contractors or through the use of their own personnel. The state shall not be party to contracts
established between an owner or operator and a response action contractor and nothing in this
chapter shall be construed as a state contract but to the contrary, it is expressly manifest
that these are not state contracts and are expressly exempt from any competitive bid laws.
(b) Nothing in this chapter shall be deemed to prohibit a person...

Section 16-40A-1 Legislative findings; purpose of chapter. (a) The Legislature finds that:
(1) Pregnancy and childbirth among unmarried adolescents, particularly young adolescents,
often results in severe adverse health, social, and economic consequences, including: a higher
percentage of pregnancy and childbirth complications; a higher incidence of low birth weight
babies; a higher frequency of developmental disabilities; higher infant mortality and morbidity;
a decreased likelihood of completing school; a greater likelihood that an adolescent marriage
will end in divorce; and higher risks of unemployment and welfare dependency. (2) Drug and
alcohol abuse diminish the strength and vitality of the young people of our nation and state;
an increasing number of substances, both legal and illegal, are being abused by increasing
numbers of school children, even at the grade school level; abuse of any substance causes
human behavior that influences many forces, including school, family,...

9-16-1.1
Section 9-16-1.1 Legislative findings. (a) The Alabama Legislature has found and determined
the following: (1) A 1991 United States Department of the Interior audit report warned that
the Non-Fuel Minerals Mining Law of Alabama is outdated and that mine operators are deliberately
laying waste to mined land rather than restoring it. (2) The standards for coal mining reclamation
have improved dramatically over the last 25 years. (3) The citizens of Alabama are endangered
by unreclaimed highwalls, water impoundments, and open pits. (b) In view of these findings,
the Legislature deems it necessary to deny the issuance of surface mine permits to operators
who have demonstrated a pattern of willfully violating the mining law, and to improve environmental
controls by requiring that highwalls be backfilled after mining. (Act 99-579, p. 1307, §1.)...

Section 16-16-2 Legislative findings of fact and declaration of intent; liberal construction
of chapter. The Legislature hereby makes the findings of fact and declaration of intent hereinafter
set forth in this section. The great increase during recent years in the number of students
enrolled in the public schools and in other educational institutions in the state that are
supported wholly or in part by the state, the anticipated further increase in the enrollment
of students in such schools and educational institutions resulting from the greatly increased
birth rate and other factors, the increased enrollment in other public institutions in the
state and the need to supply additional educational facilities at those other public institutions
for the purpose of maintaining and further developing educational programs for the inmates
of those institutions have made it imperative that buildings and other facilities for educational
purposes be constructed and equipped in all parts of the...

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...

Section 41-10-540 Legislative findings; construction. The Legislature finds and declares the
following: That the State of Alabama, acting in its own name and through various public corporations,
has made substantial financial contractual commitments for incentives to industries agreeing
to locate or expand their operations in Alabama; that the creation of a state-level agency
with power to fund the commitments is desirable and in the public interest; that by the passage
of this division it is the intention to provide for the creation of Alabama Incentives Financing
Authority with broad powers to meet existing commitments made by the state to industries committing
to locate or expand in the state; and that it is necessary and in the public interest that
the authority pledge for payment of its obligations the funds appropriated to the authority
in order to enable it to fund existing commitments and to carry out functions that are essential
to the public welfare. This division shall be...

41-4-350
Section 41-4-350 Legislative findings; purpose. (a) The Legislature of Alabama hereby finds
and determines that the responsible stewardship of its state-owned and leased real property
is a proper governmental function of the State of Alabama. The Legislature finds that costs
for maintenance, construction, and leasing of real property in the state government comprise
a significant portion of available resources. The Legislature also finds that as one of the
largest owners and operators of buildings in Alabama, the state is a major consumer of energy.
It is therefore the intent of Act 2015-435 to establish centralized management of real property
through leasing administration, facilities maintenance and management, and construction management
that consists of expanded duties in existing divisions, as well as newly established divisions,
within the Department of Finance. In establishing this centralization, it is further the intent
of the Legislature to establish comprehensive real...

11-92B-2
Section 11-92B-2 Legislative findings. The Legislature makes the following findings: (1) That
the economic development of property comprising a former military installation is of vital
importance to the life, health, and welfare of the citizens of local cities and counties affected
by the base closure and the state. (2) That it is desirable to allow for the establishment
of local reuse authorities capable of managing and promoting the reuse and economic development
of military installations after the closure of the military installations. (3) That an Alabama
court has ruled that a city and county lack legislative authority to join in any entity for
the purposes provided for in this chapter. The Legislature finds that the purpose of this
chapter is to provide such authority. (4) That in consideration of the critical need for valid
and fully authorized public entities, with community involvement and notice, to develop closed
military installations, and perform environmental restoration...

Section 15-23-2 Legislative findings, etc. The Legislature hereby finds, determines and declares
that victims of violent crime are often reduced to bereft and destitute circumstances as a
result of the criminal acts perpetrated against them, that the financial or economic resources
of such victims and their dependents are in many instances distressed or depleted as a result
of injuries inflicted upon them by violent criminals. That the general social and economic
welfare of such victims and their dependents is and ought to be intimately affected with the
public interest, that the deplorable plight of these unfortunate citizens should not go unnoticed
by our institutions and agencies of government. The Legislature hereby further finds, determines
and declares that it is to the benefit of all that victims of violence and their dependents
be assisted financially and socially whenever possible. To this end the Legislature intends
to provide a means whereby victims of violent crime and...
