Section 9-13-271 Legislative findings. (a) The Legislature hereby finds and declares
that the application of prescribed burning is a landowner property right and a land management
tool that benefits the safety of the public, the environment, the natural resources, and the
economy of Alabama. Therefore, the Legislature finds that: (1) Prescribed burning reduces
naturally occurring vegetative fuels within wildland areas. The reduction of the fuel load
reduces the risk and severity of major catastrophic wildfire, thereby reducing the threat
of loss of life and property, particularly in urbanizing areas. (2) Many of Alabama's natural
communities require periodic fire for maintenance of their ecological integrity. Prescribed
burning is essential to the perpetuation, restoration, and management of many plant and animal
communities. Significant loss of the state's biological diversity will occur if fire is excluded
from fire-dependent ecosystems. (3) Forest lands constitute significant...

11-32-1
Section 11-32-1 Legislative findings. (a) The Legislature finds, determines, and hereby
declares that, in counties having a population of not less than 600,000, there are conditions
present that are not present in counties with lesser populations. Those conditions include,
but are not limited to, the following: (1) The excessive growth in private vehicular traffic
in the counties is placing excessive burdens upon the road systems and parking facilities,
especially in commercial and industrial districts and in areas of high population density,
which cannot be alleviated by private vehicular traffic. (2) The number of vehicular miles
the average citizen of those counties travels per day is among the highest nationally in terms
of miles and commuting times. (3) The projected continued economic growth of the counties
and the general health and welfare of the citizens of the counties require those counties
to provide the enhanced availability of public transportation facilities, operations,...

across state lines in a medical emergency, as defined by the board, is not subject to the
provisions of this article. (b) A physician who engages in the practice of medicine or osteopathy

fewer than 10 patients in a calendar year or comprises less than one percent of the physician's
diagnostic or therapeutic practice. (Acts 1997, No. 97-166, p. 238, §6.)...

45-45-82.51
Section 45-45-82.51 Legislative findings. The Legislature hereby finds and declares
the following: (1) The Madison County Judicial System faces a severe crisis. The Twenty-third
Judicial Circuit has the highest caseload in Alabama. The number of criminal cases has doubled
during the last five years, resulting in a backlog of almost 4,500 cases, including approximately
18 capital murder cases. Some defendants have been awaiting trial for almost five years. The
caseload facing prosecutors is staggering. Individual drug crime prosecutors are assigned
in excess of 500 cases and it is not uncommon for each prosecutor to prepare to try 60 cases
on a single week's docket. The sheer number of criminal defendants is so large that judges
cannot bring them all into the courtroom without violating an order of the Madison County
Fire Marshal. (2) While faced with these virtually insurmountable problems, the state budget
for fiscal year 2004 has required the system to bear cuts so draconian that the...

45-49A-82
Section 45-49A-82 Legislative findings; purpose. The Legislature of Alabama finds and
declares that the health, safety, and welfare of the people of the City of Prichard, in Mobile
County, Alabama, are enhanced by the continual encouragement, development, growth, and expansion
of private enterprise within this state. That there are certain economically depressed areas
in such city that need particular attention to create new jobs, stimulate economic activity,
and attract private sector investment rather than government subsidy to improve the quality
of life of their citizens. It is the purpose of this part to encourage new economic activity
in this depressed area by means of reduced taxes and the removal of unnecessary governmental
barriers to the production and earning of wages and profits and the creation of economic growth.

Section 11-5-30 Legislative findings; construction. (a) The Legislature hereby finds,
determines, and declares all of the following: (1) An unattended and sudden death is one of
society's most tragic events and should receive the appropriate caring, competent, and thorough
attention of all levels of government. (2) A suspicious, sudden, or violent death is very
difficult to investigate and to accurately determine the cause and manner of death for the
death certificate. (3) Medical examiners and coroners determine the cause of death and with
other forensic scientists and investigators determine the manner of death. (4) Death certificates
issued on unattended, sudden, and violent deaths greatly impact government spending decisions,
the living loved ones, and insurance decisions so that the accuracy of the death certificate
is of great concern to the Legislature. (5) There are currently no minimum standards of training
for county coroners. (6) Local coroners or non-physician death...

Section 15-18-65 Legislative findings; purpose and construction of article. The Legislature

to fully compensate all victims of such conduct or activity for any pecuniary loss, damage
or injury as a direct or indirect result thereof. The provisions of this article shall be
construed so as to accomplish this purpose and to promote the same which shall be the public

16-60-82
Section 16-60-82 Legislative findings of fact and declaration of intent. The Legislature
hereby makes the following findings of fact and declares its intent to be as follows: The
number of students enrolled in trade schools and colleges supported wholly or in part by the
state has increased greatly during recent years. Further increases in enrollment are anticipated
because of the increased rate of births, the increased need for skilled workers and other
factors. In order to meet these needs and to provide residents of this state with the opportunity
to receive adequate instruction in the arts and sciences and in useful skills and trades,
it is imperative that junior colleges and additional trade schools be constructed, equipped
and operated. The tax revenues and other funds currently available for trade schools and junior
colleges are not sufficient to permit immediate outlays of the large amounts of capital necessary
for such construction and equipment and at the same time to permit...
