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.
