Section 22-4B-2 Legislative intent. The Legislature of Alabama finds that there exists
a critical shortage of registered nurses who are willing and able to provide health care to
citizens in rural areas of Alabama. Such shortage is particularly acute in rural areas, and
has a negative impact on the availability of care to low income and indigent citizens of Alabama
who reside in rural areas. The Legislature further finds that there are many dedicated employees
of the Alabama Department of Public Health who are disqualified from training as registered
nurses solely by reason of their inability to finance the cost of attending school to obtain
the requisite degree. Such employees are also prevented or retarded in career advancement
because of a lack of education. It is the intent of the Legislature in adopting this chapter
to address the nursing shortage in county health departments and in federally-funded community
health centers in rural areas and to provide opportunities for career...

of this chapter are to develop the infrastructure for a statewide network of lifespan respite
programs in Alabama and for Alabama Respite to be the statewide entity to address issues relating

in short supply. (3) As of 2012, over 818,000 adults in Alabama are caregivers for a family

situations that can lead to abuse and neglect, and reducing the incidence of divorce and out-of-home
placement. (5) Respite is a simple, cost-effective...

Section 27-1-10.1 Insurance coverage for drugs to treat life-threatening illnesses.
(a) The Legislature finds and declares the following: (1) The citizens of this state rely
upon health insurance to cover the cost of obtaining health care and it is essential that

care within the terms of their insurance policies. (2) Some insurers deny payment for drugs
that have been approved by the Federal Food and Drug Administration, hereafter referred to
as FDA, when the drugs are used for indications other than those stated in the labelling approved
by the FDA, off-label use, while other insurers with similar coverage terms do pay for off-label

and appropriate treatment for a person being treated for a...

Section 33-17-2 Legislative intent; construction of chapter. The Legislature hereby
makes the findings of facts and declaration of intent hereinafter set forth in this section.
The construction of a navigable waterway between Demopolis, Alabama and the Tennessee River,
utilizing the channel of the Tombigbee River, would provide a new transportation route of
great importance and would stimulate the development of commerce, agriculture and industry
in many sections of the state. Local flooding along the tributary streams of the Tombigbee
River occurs frequently in the growing and harvesting season and causes considerable damage
to agriculture in the affected sections of the state. Improvements in the channels of the
tributary streams will eliminate much of the damage caused by flooding and will also permit
improved farming practices and better land use. It is the intention of the Legislature by
the passage of this chapter to implement the provisions of Amendment No. 270 of the...
