Section 8-23-1 Legislative findings and declaration. The Legislature finds and declares that
there exist in connection with a substantial number of contracts for health studio services
certain practices and business and financing methods which have worked undue financial hardship
upon some of the citizens of our state, and that existing legal remedies are inadequate to
correct existing problems in the industry. The Legislature finds and declares that the health
studio industry has a significant impact upon the economy and well-being of the people of
the state and that the provisions of this chapter regulating health studio contracts are necessary
for the public welfare. (Acts 1984, No. 84-297, p. 661, §1.)...

Section 34-24-601 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds that the diversion, abuse, and
misuse of prescription medications classified as controlled substances under the Alabama Uniform
Controlled Substances Act constitute a serious threat to the health, safety, and welfare of
the citizens of the State of Alabama. The Legislature further finds that the registration
of all physicians providing pain management services, as defined in this article, will assist
the Alabama Board of Medical Examiners in preventing the diversion, abuse, and misuse of controlled
substances by regulating these registrants. The Legislature further finds that it is in the
best interests of the public safety to give the Board of Medical Examiners the authority it
needs to suspend the registration of these physicians providing pain management services when
the public health, safety, or welfare requires immediate action. (Act 2013-257, p. 673, §1.)...

Section 34-43-2 Legislative findings and intent. Massage therapy is declared by the Legislature
to be a professional therapeutic health service. The Legislature finds that in the practice
of massage therapy, there is a necessity to preserve and protect individual life and health,
to promote the public interest and welfare by establishing licensure requirements and assuring
public safety. It is the intent of this chapter to establish a regulatory agency and procedures
that will ensure that the public is protected from the unprofessional, improper, unauthorized,
and unqualified practice of massage therapy. All persons engaged in the practice of massage
therapy in this state shall meet the requirements set forth in this chapter. (Acts 1996, No.
96-661, p. 1060, §2; Act 2000-704, p. 1430, §1.)...

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
custody, and from persons or organizations that advertise, hold themselves out, or lead others
to believe that they will provide them with health, therapeutic, rehabilitative, or disciplinary
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
is the intent of the Legislature to implement a baseline of registration and regulation requirements
for religious, faith-based, or church nonprofit, other nonprofit, and for profit affiliated
youth residential facilities and institutions that have...

Section 22-28-13 Variances. (a) The commission may grant individual variances beyond the limitations
prescribed in this chapter whenever it is found, upon presentation of adequate proof, that
