Section 23-1-291 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds that certain portions of the state
highway system provide access to state locales that are notable for their scenic, natural,
historic, recreational, cultural, and archaeological value and are therefore worthy of designations
as scenic byways in order to provide special consideration of their unique features and special
role in the highway system. The Legislature further finds that the public interest would be
served by the formation of a coordinated scenic byways program to enhance recreational, cultural,
and archaeological resources, encourage economic development through tourism, improve the
transportation system, and educate residents and visitors on the history, culture, and natural
beauty of this state. In order to implement this program, the Legislature has determined that
a two-tiered structure would best serve the governance of the Alabama Scenic Byways program.
The Legislature recognizes that the application of this...

Section 29-6-7.1 Legislative findings as to speech and debate; definitions; privileged and
confidential communication; waiver of privilege. (a) The Legislature hereby finds and declares
the following: (1) Section 56 of the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, now appearing as Section
56 of the Official Recompilation of the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, as amended, contains
a speech or debate clause virtually identical to Section 6 of Article I of the Constitution
of the United States, the federal speech and debate clause. (2) In the case of Gravel v. United
States, 408 U.S. 606, the Supreme Court of the United States held the speech and debate clause
in the Constitution of the United States makes the communications between members of the Congress
and their staff privileged and confidential. (3) The Supreme Court explained its reasoning
as follows: "[T]he day-to-day work of [legislative] aides is so critical to the Members'
performance that they must be treated as the latter's alter ego;...

Section 5-17-45 Legislative findings; powers of credit unions; agreements; reports. (a) The
Legislature finds as fact and determines that the credit unions having their principal place
of business in Alabama must keep pace with technological and other improvements constantly
being made throughout the United States so as to enable Alabama credit unions to render better
and more efficient services to their members. It is necessary and desirable that the administrator
be given additional authority in these fields. (b) The administrator is hereby authorized
to expand powers of Alabama credit unions in order to accomplish both of the following: (1)
Accommodate or take advantage of changing technologies. (2) Assure the ability of Alabama
credit unions to be responsive in their business to the needs and conveniences demanded by

nothing in this section shall enable the administrator to authorize credit...

Section 11-100-2 Legislative findings. The Legislature hereby finds and determines that: (1)
The convention industry is a vital and beneficial industry for the State of Alabama and promotes
the health, welfare, progress, and physical and economic well-being of the people of this
state. (2) Adequate facilities are essential to the proper development of the meeting and
entertainment industries. Adequate convention facilities are often not self-supporting so
as to permit their financing with revenue bonds, but generate economic activity and stimulate
business and commerce in the affected locality, and throughout the state, through increased
demand for goods and services furnished by restaurants, hotels, places of entertainment, as
well as stores, shops and other establishments, and, as a consequence, they generate additional
state and local tax revenues. (3) It is in the interest of the state and its cities and counties,
for the state to assist any city, county, and entities or...

Section 11-86A-2 Legislative findings of fact and declaration of intent; construction of chapter.
(a) The Legislature hereby makes the following findings of fact and declares its intent to
be as follows: The Legislature acknowledges the key role of public corporations in the state
in promoting public interest and participation in sports, athletics, and recreational activities
through acquiring, enlarging, improving, expanding, owning, operating, leasing, and disposing
of park and recreation related properties. It has come to the attention of the Legislature
that questions have been raised as to the status of certain local park and recreational authorities
and boards located in the state. It is the intent of the Legislature to promote the public
health and general welfare by exercising its police power to authorize the formation or retroactive
validation of independent public corporations created jointly by counties and municipalities,
one of which is to be a Class 4 municipality, as...

16-68-1
Section 16-68-1 (Effective July 1, 2020) Legislative findings. The Legislature makes the following
findings: (1) Article I, Section 4 of the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, recognizes that
all persons may speak, write, and publish their sentiments on all subjects, and that "no
law shall ever be passed to curtail or restrain the liberty of speech...." (2) Alabama's
public institutions of higher education have historically embraced a commitment to freedom
of speech and expression. (3) The United States Supreme Court has called public universities
"peculiarly the marketplace of ideas," Healy v. James, 408 U.S. 169, 180 (1972),
where young adults learn to exercise those constitutional rights necessary to participate
in our system of government and to tolerate the exercise of those rights by others, and there
is "no room for the view that First Amendment protections should apply with less force
on college campuses than in the community at large." Healy, 408 U.S. at 180. (4) The
United...

22-40A-2
Section 22-40A-2 Legislative findings; purpose. (a) The Legislature finds as follows: (1) The
Alabama Scrap Tire Study Commission (STSC) submitted a report as required by Section 22-40-10,
and SJR 152, adopted May 11, 2000. The section and the resolution both directed the STSC to
study the present law and recommend revisions that are needed. The report from the STSC recommended
substantial changes to the present law, which are incorporated into this chapter. The study
and report were necessary to address the estimated 14 to 20 million tires stockpiled or illegally
dumped. (2) This state generates over five million scrap tires annually. Of these tires, an
estimated two million are recycled annually and an estimated two million are disposed of legally
in landfills. Many of the remaining tires are disposed of illegally and therefore may present
a public health and/or environmental threat to the citizens of Alabama. (b) This chapter has
the following stated purposes, to: (1) Remediate...

Section 22-6-163 Legislative findings; rules; collaboration; approval of agreements and contracts;
state action immunity; confidentiality of records; additional duties. (a) The Legislature
declares that collaboration among public payers, private health carriers, third party purchasers,
and providers to identify appropriate service delivery systems and reimbursement methods in
order to align incentives in support of integrated and coordinated health care delivery is
in the best interest of the public. Collaboration pursuant to this article is to provide quality
health care at the lowest possible cost to Alabama citizens who are Medicaid eligible. The
Legislature, therefore, declares that this health care delivery system affirmatively contemplates
the foreseeable displacement of competition, such that any anti-competitive effect may be
attributed to the state's policy to displace competition in the delivery of a coordinated
system of health care for the public benefit. In furtherance of...

Section 16-40A-1 Legislative findings; purpose of chapter. (a) The Legislature finds that:
(1) Pregnancy and childbirth among unmarried adolescents, particularly young adolescents,
often results in severe adverse health, social, and economic consequences, including: a higher
percentage of pregnancy and childbirth complications; a higher incidence of low birth weight
babies; a higher frequency of developmental disabilities; higher infant mortality and morbidity;
a decreased likelihood of completing school; a greater likelihood that an adolescent marriage
will end in divorce; and higher risks of unemployment and welfare dependency. (2) Drug and
alcohol abuse diminish the strength and vitality of the young people of our nation and state;
an increasing number of substances, both legal and illegal, are being abused by increasing
numbers of school children, even at the grade school level; abuse of any substance causes
human behavior that influences many forces, including school, family,...
