Section 25-14-2 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds and declares the following: (1)
That employee leasing is a growing industry in the State of Alabama and that professional
employer organizations provide increased opportunities for employers to develop cost-effective
methods of satisfying their personnel requirements and providing employees with access to
certain employment benefits which might otherwise not be available to them. (2) The Legislature
deems it necessary, however, in the interest of the welfare of workers and employers to establish
standards for the operation, regulation, and registration of professional employer organizations
in Alabama to be administered by the Workers' Compensation Division of the Department of Labor,
and it is the intent of the Legislature that this be accomplished pursuant to the Alabama
Professional Employer Organization Registration Act. (3) That any allocation of the employer
duties and responsibilities pursuant to this chapter will...

40-9C-2
Section 40-9C-2 Legislative findings. The Legislature recognizes the importance of recovering
and reusing previously utilized property to the well-being of the people of the state. The
Legislature also recognizes that in some cases additional incentives are required to succeed
in recovering brownfield sites and therefore intends to allow county and municipal governments
to provide substantial tax incentives as an inducement to recovering land pursuant to Chapter
30E, beginning with Section 22-30E-1, of Title 22, the Alabama Land Recycling and Economic
Redevelopment Act. (Act 2004-245, p. 334, §2.)...

6-12-1
Section 6-12-1 Legislative findings. The Legislature of Alabama finds as follows: (1) Cigarette
smoking presents serious public health concerns to the state and to the citizens of the state.
The Surgeon General has determined that smoking causes lung cancer, heart disease, and other
serious diseases, and that there are hundreds of thousands of tobacco-related deaths in the
United States each year. These diseases most often do not appear until many years after the
person in question begins smoking. (2) Cigarette smoking also presents serious financial concerns
for the state. Under certain health care programs, the state may have a legal obligation to
provide medical assistance to eligible persons for health conditions associated with cigarette
smoking, and those persons may have a legal entitlement to receive such medical assistance.
(3) Under these programs, the state pays millions of dollars each year to provide medical
assistance for these persons for health conditions associated...

11-92A-2
Section 11-92A-2 Legislative findings of fact and declaration of intent; construction of article.
(a) The Legislature hereby makes the following findings of fact and declares its intent to
be as follows: In recent years changes have taken place in the economy of the state that have
had a far-reaching effect on the welfare of its citizens. The agrarian economy that once prevailed
in the state and provided the principal means of livelihood for most of its citizens has proven
inadequate to provide employment for the state's growing population. The advent of mechanized
and scientific farming methods has reduced greatly the number of persons required to obtain
increased yields of agricultural products from land under cultivation. There has been a correspondingly
greater dependency upon industrial development as the bulwark of the economy of the state.
It is therefore appropriate and necessary that measures be taken to secure to the citizens
of the state the benefits of a strengthening...

16-25A-40
Section 16-25A-40 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds that private employers have provided
their employees with flexible employee benefit plans which provide a savings both to the employer
and the employee, and that the State of Alabama, its departments and agencies, may provide
the same tax-effective benefits to its public education employees. It is, therefore, the intent
of the Legislature to provide for the establishment of one statewide, universal "cafeteria
plan" or flexible employee benefit plan to be made available to all employees in public
education in compliance with the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and to implement the plan
in accordance with the rules and regulations established by the Public Education Flexible
Employees' Benefit Board created by this article. (Act 2004-650, 1st Sp. Sess., p. 31, §1.)...

26-21-1
Section 26-21-1 Legislative purpose and findings. (a) It is the intent of the Legislature in
enacting this parental consent provision to further the important and compelling state interests
of: (1) protecting minors against their own immaturity, (2) fostering the family structure
and preserving it as a viable social unit, and (3) protecting the rights of parents to rear
children who are members of their household. (b) The Legislature finds as fact that: (1) immature
minors often lack the ability to make fully informed choices that take account of both immediate
and long-range consequences, (2) the medical, emotional, and psychological consequences of
abortion are serious and can be lasting, particularly when the patient is immature, (3) the
capacity to become pregnant and the capacity for mature judgment concerning the wisdom of
an abortion are not necessarily related, (4) parents ordinarily possess information essential
to a physician's exercise of his or her best medical judgment...

28-4A-6
Section 28-4A-6 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds that it is in the best interest
of the public welfare of the State of Alabama to preserve and redevelop the downtown municipal
areas and registered historic districts and certain economically distressed areas of this
state and to further promote the preservation and redevelopment of historic buildings and
sites. The Legislature finds that an effective way of facilitating the urban redevelopment
program and the preservation of historic buildings and sites, and registered historic districts
and any economically distressed area designated as suitable by the municipal or county governing
body is by creating a single exception to the existing alcoholic beverage laws to authorize
and permit the establishment of brewpubs located in such historic buildings, sites, or districts
in urban redevelopment areas or economically distressed areas of those municipalities located
within counties where the brewing of beer for consumption by the...

36-29-20
Section 36-29-20 Legislative findings and intent. The Legislature finds that private employers
have provided their employees with flexible employee benefit plans which provide a savings
both to the employer and the employee, and that the State of Alabama, its departments and
agencies, may provide the same tax-effective benefits to its employees. It is, therefore,
the intent of the Legislature to provide for the establishment of a "cafeteria plan"
or flexible employee benefit plan in compliance with the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, with
every effort being used to utilize the existing resources of the state Comptroller to implement
said plan in conjunction with the Flexible Employees Benefits Board. (Acts 1989, No. 89-644,
p. 1272, §1.)...

40-9B-2
Section 40-9B-2 Legislative findings. The Legislature recognizes the importance of industrial
development to the well being of the people of the state. The Legislature also recognizes
that industries are attracted by a number of factors, including natural resources, a well-trained
workforce, good roads, and excellent education. The Legislature also recognizes that in some
cases additional incentives are required to succeed in attracting new industries and encouraging
existing industries to expand and therefore intends to continue to allow county and municipal
governments and certain public corporations to provide substantial tax incentives. (Acts 1992,
No. 92-599, p. 1239, §2.)...
