Section 12-23A-3 Legislative intent. (a) The Legislature recognizes that a critical need exists
in this state for the criminal justice system to more effectively address the number of defendants
who are involved with substance abuse or addiction. For the criminal justice system to maintain
credibility, court and community alternatives for the substance abuse and addiction involved
defendant must be expanded. A growing body of research demonstrates the impact of substance
abuse on public safety, personal health, and health care costs, the spread of communicable
disease, educational performance and attainment, work force reliability and productivity,
family safety, and financial stability. Requiring accountability and effective treatment,
in addition to or in place of, conventional and expensive incarceration, will promote public
safety, the welfare of the individuals involved, reduce the burden upon the State Treasury
and benefit the common welfare of this state. The goals of this...

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...
