Section 37-14-1 Legislative declarations, findings, etc. The Legislature of the State of Alabama
has investigated the economic, financial and environmental impact associated with the potential
for duplication of electric distribution facilities used for the furnishing of retail electric
service. Among its findings are the conclusion that with respect to retail electric sales,
the benefit normally associated with competition between two or more entities for customers
is outweighed by the tremendous cost burden which must be borne by such customers associated
with the maintenance of two or more duplicate sets of facilities. It is the further finding
of the legislature that the existence of duplicate facilities for the furnishing of electricity
at retail is not in the public interest because of the adverse impact which such duplication
has on environmental and aesthetic values and on safety. It is therefore declared that the
policy of the State of Alabama is to ensure effective,...

Section 26-23A-2 Legislative findings; purpose. (a) The Legislature of the State of Alabama
finds that: (1) It is essential to the psychological and physical well-being of a woman considering
an abortion that she receive complete and accurate information on her alternatives. (2) Most
abortions are performed in clinics devoted solely to providing abortions and family planning
services. Most women who seek abortions at these facilities do not have any relationship with
the physician who performs the abortion, before or after the procedure. Most women do not
return to the facility for post-surgical care. In most instances, the woman's only actual
contact with the physician occurs simultaneously with the abortion procedure, with little
opportunity to receive counseling concerning her decision. (3) The decision to abort is an
important, and often a stressful one, and it is desirable and imperative that it be made with
full knowledge of its nature and consequences. The medical, emotional,...

Section 38-12-31 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds and declares the following: (1)
There exists in this state a number of children who cannot reside with their parents, legal
guardians, or legal custodians because of such parents', legal guardians', or custodians'
incapacity or inability to perform the regular and expected functions of care and support
of the children and family care and who thereby come to the attention of juvenile court and
into the care and custody of the Department of Human Resources. (2) An increasing number of
relatives, including grandparents, find themselves wanting to provide care to related foster
children on a long-term basis to prevent the children from remaining in foster care with unrelated
caregivers yet these relatives are either unable or unwilling to seek termination of the legal
relationships between the parent and the child, particularly when it is the caregiver's own
child or sibling who is the parent. (3) It is in the public interest to...

Section 11-62-2 Legislative findings and declarations. It is hereby found and declared as follows:
There exists in the State of Alabama a serious shortage of adequate facilities for the housing,
care, and treatment of persons requiring special care, including orphans and persons who are
elderly, sick, physically disabled, or handicapped or mentally ill or retarded, as well as
a shortage of investment funds needed to finance such facilities; in order to alleviate the
shortage of such facilities, to encourage the continued operation of such facilities as now

which will have the power to increase the supply of investment funds available for such facilities
by selling and issuing bonds and notes and using the proceeds of such bonds and notes to (1)
acquire facilities for lease or sale to such not-for-profit...

health problems in the State of Alabama and a major cause of death and long-term disability.

22-4-31
Section 22-4-31 Legislative findings. The Legislature does hereby set out the following findings
and reasons for passage of this article. Alabama has adopted a system of health planning and
development administered by the State Health Planning and Development Agency (SHPDA). In addition,
the Statewide Health Coordinating Council (SHCC) is charged with reviewing Alabama's health
planning needs and writing the State Health Plan to assist the Certificate of Need Review
Board. The Certificate of Need Review Board is responsible for reviewing and approving certificate
of need applications in Alabama. There is no current systematic way for the SHPDA, SHCC, or
the Certificate of Need Review Board to collect all the health care services information necessary
for proper health care planning in Alabama, because reporting to SHPDA is voluntary. The Legislature
hereby finds and determines that collection of additional health care information is necessary
for informed statewide health planning. The...

Section 22-6-120 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds the following: (1) The availability
of appropriate pharmaceutical benefits to every Alabama citizen is a critical component to
the overall health of its population. (2) Alabama should strive to provide appropriate, safe,
effective, and cost-efficient pharmaceutical care to those who depend on health benefits through
state funded programs. (3) The Alabama Medicaid Agency should endeavor to manage the Medicaid
Pharmacy Program utilizing clinical management tools in a manner to foster optimal health
outcomes at reasonable costs. (4) State Medicaid programs and private insurance plans across
the country utilize preferred drug lists as an effective way to foster and encourage clinically
appropriate and safe use of pharmaceuticals in a cost-effective manner. (5) Based on the proven
effectiveness of preferred drug programs to foster appropriate use of drugs, it is in the
best interests of Alabama and its citizens for the Alabama...

31-12A-1
Section 31-12A-1 Legislative findings. The Legislature recognizes the importance of active
military personnel, veterans, and military facilities to the well-being, safety, and economic
development of the State of Alabama. The Legislature further recognizes and finds that discharged
service members leave the military with documented training and experience that can prepare
them for civilian employment; however, this documentation is not always able to result in
qualifying them for licenses required for their occupation or providing them with academic
credit. By providing for expedited licensure and increased academic credit recognition for
a service member's military training and experience, the state can help promote the employment
of veterans. (Act 2013-350, p. 1255, §1.)...
