Section 16-22A-2 Legislative intent. Under the National Child Protection Act of 1993, Public
Law 103-209, 42 U.S.C. 5119, et seq., the states are required to implement a computerized
information system to provide child abuse crime information through the Federal Bureau of
Investigation National Criminal History Record Information System and may conduct a nationwide
criminal history background information check for the purpose of determining whether an individual
who will have unsupervised access to children is suitable for employment or has been convicted
of a crime that bears upon the fitness of the individual to teach or have responsibility for
the safety and well-being of children as defined in this chapter. The Legislature finds that
there is a compelling state interest and it is in the best interest of the children of Alabama
to protect them from those persons who may inflict physical or mental injury or abuse, sexual
abuse or exploitation, or maltreatment or other mistreatment...

Section 25-5-14 Legislative findings and intent as to actions filed by injured employee against
officers, etc., of same employer. The Legislature finds that actions filed on behalf of injured
employees against officers, directors, agents, servants, or employees of the same employer
seeking to recover damages in excess of amounts received or receivable from the employer under
the workers' compensation statutes of this state and predicated upon claimed negligent or
wanton conduct resulting in injuries arising out of and in the course of employment are contrary
to the intent of the Legislature in adopting a comprehensive workers' compensation scheme
and are producing a debilitating and adverse effect upon efforts to retain existing, and to
attract new industry to this state. Specifically, the existence of such causes of action places
this state at a serious disadvantage in comparison to the existing laws of other states with
whom this state competes in seeking to attract and retain...

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.)...

26-23B-2
Section 26-23B-2 Legislative findings. The Legislature makes all of the following findings:
(1) Pain receptors (nociceptors) are present throughout the unborn child's entire body by
no later than 16 weeks after fertilization and nerves link these receptors to the brain's
thalamus and subcortical plate by no later than 20 weeks. (2) By eight weeks after fertilization,
the unborn child reacts to touch. After 20 weeks, the unborn child reacts to stimuli that
would be recognized as painful if applied to an adult human, for example by recoiling. (3)
For the purposes of surgery on unborn children, fetal anesthesia is routinely administered
and is associated with a decrease in stress hormones compared to their level when painful
stimuli is applied without such anesthesia. (4) In the unborn child, application of such painful
stimuli is associated with significant increases in stress hormones known as the stress response.
(5) Subjection to such painful stimuli is associated with long-term...

Section 16-6B-10 Budget requirements for Foundation and Vocational/Technical Education Program.
(a) Foundation Program. It is the intent of the Legislature to see that funds allocated for
classroom instructional support actually reach the classroom. To that end, the State Department
of Education shall monitor the flow of funds appropriated for various instructional purposes.

developed within each school as is required by Section 16-1-30 relating to the adoption of

Section 18-1B-1 Statement of legislative intent. In light of the decision and certain opinions
recently announced by the United States Supreme Court interpreting the extent of the power
of government to take property for public use as described in the Fifth Amendment to the United
States Constitution and providing that individual states may restrict the exercise of that
power, the Legislature intends in enacting this chapter and amending Sections 11-47-170 and
11-80-1, to ensure that governmental bodies in Alabama vested with all or any part of the
power of eminent domain may not, the aforesaid recent interpretation of the Fifth Amendment
to the contrary notwithstanding, use the power to take the private property of any person
for the private use of another, as opposed to the use thereof by the public generally, except
as and in the limited circumstances set out in this chapter and Sections 11-47-170 and 11-80-1.
(Act 2005-313, 1st Sp. Sess., p. 643, §1.)...
