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...

Section 45-49-42 Legislative findings. The Legislature of the State of Alabama declares and finds that the business of operating massage parlors as defined herein are businesses affecting the public health, safety, and general welfare; that such businesses have been used in Mobile County and elsewhere as fronts for the conduct of prostitution, assignation, and lewdness; that the method of operation of such business generally is such that female persons bargain with male customers for illicit sexual activities, including prostitution and sodomy, only after performing so-called massages while the male customer is nude, and after engaging the customer as part of the so-called massage in sexual foreplay to the point of sexual arousal; that because of the method of operation the gathering of evidence by law enforcement officers sufficient for the officers to make an arrest or to institute some other civil proceeding requires male officers to pose as customers, and to perform degrading,...

Section 22-35-1 Legislative findings and intent. The Legislature of the State of Alabama finds and declares that certain lands of Alabama constitute unique and delicately balanced resources; that the protection of these resources is vital to the economy of this state; and that the preservation of waters is a matter of the highest urgency and priority as these waters provide a primary source of potable water in this state; that such use can only be served effectively by maintaining the quality of waters in as close to a comparable previous condition as possible, taking into account multiple use accommodations necessary to provide the broadest possible promotion of public and private interests. The Legislature further finds that where contamination of soils or waters has occurred, remedial measures have often been delayed for long periods while determinations as to liability and the extent of liability are made; that such delays result in the continuation and intensification of the...
