Section 38-15-2 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds that there is a substantial need
to protect children and youth from abuse and neglect by persons entrusted with their physical

services, and from persons employed or exercising authority over them, and who they depend
upon to provide the basic necessities of life. The Legislature further finds that abuse and
neglect often take the form of the withholding of the basic necessities of life, including
food, water, shelter, clothing, and health care through an affirmative act or omission. It

Section 22-13A-2 Legislative findings. (a) The Legislature finds all of the following: (1)
Osteoporosis, a bone-thinning disease, is a major public health problem that poses a threat
to the health and quality of life to as many as 25 million Americans. (2) The 1.5 million
fractures each year that result from osteoporosis cause pain, disability, immobility and social
isolation, affecting quality of life and threatening the ability of people to live independently.
(3) Because osteoporosis progresses silently and without sensation over many years, and many
cases remain undiagnosed, the first symptom of the disease is often a fracture, typically
of the hip, spine, or wrist. (4) One of two women and one of five men will suffer an osteoporotic
fracture in their lifetime. (5) A woman's risk of hip fracture is equal to her combined risk
of breast, uterine, and ovarian cancer. (6) The annual direct and indirect costs of osteoporosis
