Section 26-10B-1 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds that: (1) Finding adoptive families
for children, for whom adoption assistance is desirable, and assuring the protection of the
interests of the children affected during the entire assistance period requires special measures
when the adoptive parents move to other states or are residents of another state; and (2)
The provision of medical and other necessary services for children, with state assistance,
encounters special difficulties when the provision of services takes place in other states.
(Acts 1991, No. 91-662, p. 1267, §1.)...

the State of Alabama places a high priority on the recruitment of industries to locate or
expand their operations in Alabama; that it is a vital economic development tool for the state

45-49A-82
Section 45-49A-82 Legislative findings; purpose. The Legislature of Alabama finds and declares
that the health, safety, and welfare of the people of the City of Prichard, in Mobile County,
Alabama, are enhanced by the continual encouragement, development, growth, and expansion of
private enterprise within this state. That there are certain economically depressed areas
in such city that need particular attention to create new jobs, stimulate economic activity,
and attract private sector investment rather than government subsidy to improve the quality
of life of their citizens. It is the purpose of this part to encourage new economic activity
in this depressed area by means of reduced taxes and the removal of unnecessary governmental
barriers to the production and earning of wages and profits and the creation of economic growth.

8-19C-1
Section 8-19C-1 Legislative findings. The Legislature of Alabama finds all of the following:
(1) The use of the telephone to market goods and services to the home is pervasive now due
to the increased use of cost-effective telemarketing techniques. (2) Over 30,000 businesses
actively telemarket goods and services to business and residential customers. (3) Everyday,
over 300,000 solicitors place calls to more than 18 million Americans, including citizens
of this state. (4) Telemarketing, however, can be an intrusive and relentless invasion of
the privacy and peacefulness of the home. (5) Many citizens of this state are outraged over
the proliferation of nuisance calls to their homes from telemarketers. (6) Privacy rights
and commercial freedom of speech of individuals can be balanced in a way that accommodates
both the privacy of individuals and legitimate telemarketing practices. (7) It is in the public
interest to establish a mechanism under which the individual citizens of this state...

12-25-31.1
Section 12-25-31.1 Legislative findings. (a) The Legislature finds the Alabama Sentencing Commission
has followed the directives of the Legislature in this article, to develop and recommend to
the Legislature a discretionary sentencing structure designed to protect public safety by
providing a fair, effective, and efficient criminal sentencing system for this state by doing
all of the following: (1) By developing a system of statewide voluntary sentencing standards
and worksheets for use in felony cases for 26 felony offenses representing 87 percent of all
felony convictions in Alabama over a five-year period. (2) By taking into account historical
sentencing data concerning time imposed and other factors that, after analysis of historical
data, appear to be relevant in determining both the duration and disposition of sentences
in the applicable felony cases. (3) By basing the voluntary sentencing standards on historical

26-22-1
Section 26-22-1 Legislative findings and intent. (a) The public policy of the State of Alabama
is to protect life, born, and unborn. This is particularly true concerning unborn life that
is capable of living outside the womb. The Legislature of the State of Alabama finds there
are abortions being done in Alabama after the time of viability and in violation of its public
policy. (b) The Legislature specifically finds the following: (1) Medical evidence shows there
is a survival rate of babies born between ages 23 weeks to 29 weeks gestational age of 64
percent to 94 percent. (2) In Webster v. Reproductive Health Services, 492 U.S. 499 (1989),
the United States Supreme Court determined that viability may occur as early as 23 to 24 weeks
gestational age. Also, the United States Supreme Court determined that requiring fetal viability
testing at 20 weeks gestational age is constitutional, because there is up to a four week
margin of error in determining gestational age. (3) In the latest...

41-10-621
Section 41-10-621 Legislative findings and purpose. (a) The Legislature finds and declares
the following: (1) The State of Alabama has a great need from time to time to have access
to financing for economic development and industrial recruitment that does not involve improvements
to revenue-producing facilities. (2) It is desirable and in the public interest to establish
a state-level authority with the power to issue bonds for such general purposes. (3) The Alabama
Supreme Court has held, in effect, that only when the debt of a public corporation is payable
out of a new revenue source will such debt not be considered a debt of the state in contravention
of Section 213 of the Constitution of Alabama of 1901; the State of Alabama expects to receive
in the near future new revenues from the settlement of certain litigation between the state
and the tobacco industry. (4) By the passage of this division, it is the intention of the
Legislature to: a. Provide for the creation of a special...

41-29-280
Section 41-29-280 Legislative findings. The Legislature makes the following findings: (1) The
