Section 36-36-1 Legislative findings. The Legislature of Alabama hereby finds and determines
that the funding of accrued and accruing health care benefits to retired employees and their
dependents is a proper governmental function and purpose of the state. The Governmental Accounting
Standards Board has issued Statements 43 and 45, which set forth standards on accounting and
reporting for post-employment benefits other than pensions by governments. The new standards

Section 22-6-40 Medicaid Agency authorized to increase financing and adjust insurance premiums
for family practitioners, pediatricians and obstetricians. The Legislature recognizes the
shortage of and the decline in obstetrical care in the rural areas of the state and the hardship

care after delivery. The Legislature further recognizes that the reduction in available care

ability of the Alabama Medicaid Agency to maximize state revenues, it is the intent of the
Legislature that the Alabama Medicaid Agency provide increased financing for family practitioners,
pediatricians and obstetricians to increase availability of...
