Section 16-28A-1 Legislative findings. It is the finding of the Alabama Legislature that the
people of Alabama have two basic expectations of their public schools: (1) that students be
allowed to learn in a safe classroom setting where order and discipline are maintained; and
(2) that students learn at the level of their capabilities and achieve accordingly. The Legislature
finds further that every child in Alabama is entitled to have access to a program of instruction
which gives him or her the right to learn in a non-disruptive environment. No student has
a right to be unruly in his or her classroom to the extent that such disruption denies fellow
students of their right to learn. The teacher in each classroom is expected to maintain order
and discipline. Teachers are hereby given the authority and responsibility to use appropriate
means of discipline up to and including corporal punishment as may be prescribed by the local
board of education. So long as teachers follow approved...

22-30E-2
Section 22-30E-2 Legislative findings; purpose and intent of chapter; establishment of voluntary
assessment and/or cleanup program for properties with potential environmental contamination.
(a) The Legislature finds that rural and urban property in Alabama may have areas of actual
or perceived contamination at levels that may not be subject to assessment or cleanup under
applicable laws and regulations. The Legislature finds that this perception of contamination
discourages the purchase and productive use of otherwise usable properties. The Legislature
further finds that the voluntary assessment and/or cleanup of such properties is in the public
interest. (b) The Legislature finds that industries and developers often give preference to
previously unused greenfield sites over previously used property due largely to concerns over
the financial and environmental liabilities which may be incurred in acquiring such previously
used property for reuse and redevelopment. The Legislature...

Section 26-22-1 Legislative findings and intent. (a) The public policy of the State of Alabama
is to protect life, born, and unborn. This is particularly true concerning unborn life that
is capable of living outside the womb. The Legislature of the State of Alabama finds there
are abortions being done in Alabama after the time of viability and in violation of its public
policy. (b) The Legislature specifically finds the following: (1) Medical evidence shows there
is a survival rate of babies born between ages 23 weeks to 29 weeks gestational age of 64
percent to 94 percent. (2) In Webster v. Reproductive Health Services, 492 U.S. 499 (1989),
the United States Supreme Court determined that viability may occur as early as 23 to 24 weeks
gestational age. Also, the United States Supreme Court determined that requiring fetal viability
testing at 20 weeks gestational age is constitutional, because there is up to a four week
margin of error in determining gestational age. (3) In the latest...

Section 31-5A-1 Legislative intent. The Legislature hereby finds and determines that there
currently exists a significant need for health, nursing, medical, rehabilitative and related
housing structures for those residents of this state who have served their state and nation
in its armed forces. The Legislature further finds and determines that in order to meet this
need, it is necessary for there to be established a state veterans' home or homes to be operated
by the State Department of Veterans' Affairs, and to vest in such department those powers
and authority that may be necessary to enable it to accomplish the establishment and operation
of a state veterans' home or homes. This chapter shall be liberally construed in conformity
with the purposes expressed. (Acts 1988, 1st. Sp. Sess., No. 88-776, p. 184, §1.)...

Section 16-44A-1 Legislative intent. (a) The Legislature finds that the 1986 and 1992 Commissions
on the Future of the South, under the auspices of the Southern Growth Policies Board, called
for youth and community leadership development and support as critical to southern economic

economic development, and quality of life in Alabama, the South, and the nation. (b) It is
the intent of the Legislature to work to achieve these southern leadership goals by creating

17-5-8.2
Section 17-5-8.2 Legislative findings. (a) The Legislature determines that there is a compelling
state and public interest in the disclosure of the source of funds used to advertise or otherwise
influence public opinion with regard to elections as defined in Section 17-5-2(3). The Legislature
further finds that these compelling interests should be designed to protect the public's right
to know while protecting free speech of individuals as guaranteed in the U.S. Constitution
and the Constitution of Alabama of 1901. (b) Currently, the Fair Campaign Practices Act, as
provided in this chapter, commencing with Section 17-5-1, et seq., regulates the disclosure
of contributions and expenditures made for the purpose of influencing the outcome of an election.
This chapter is also intended to regulate the disclosure of contributions and expenditures
for electioneering communications. (c) The Legislature finds and declares that Alabama voters
have a right to know who pays for the costs of...

26-23A-2
Section 26-23A-2 Legislative findings; purpose. (a) The Legislature of the State of Alabama
finds that: (1) It is essential to the psychological and physical well-being of a woman considering
an abortion that she receive complete and accurate information on her alternatives. (2) Most
abortions are performed in clinics devoted solely to providing abortions and family planning
services. Most women who seek abortions at these facilities do not have any relationship with
the physician who performs the abortion, before or after the procedure. Most women do not
return to the facility for post-surgical care. In most instances, the woman's only actual
contact with the physician occurs simultaneously with the abortion procedure, with little
opportunity to receive counseling concerning her decision. (3) The decision to abort is an
important, and often a stressful one, and it is desirable and imperative that it be made with
full knowledge of its nature and consequences. The medical, emotional,...
