22-4B-2
Section 22-4B-2 Legislative intent. The Legislature of Alabama finds that there exists a critical
shortage of registered nurses who are willing and able to provide health care to citizens
in rural areas of Alabama. Such shortage is particularly acute in rural areas, and has a negative
impact on the availability of care to low income and indigent citizens of Alabama who reside
in rural areas. The Legislature further finds that there are many dedicated employees of the
Alabama Department of Public Health who are disqualified from training as registered nurses
solely by reason of their inability to finance the cost of attending school to obtain the
requisite degree. Such employees are also prevented or retarded in career advancement because
of a lack of education. It is the intent of the Legislature in adopting this chapter to address
the nursing shortage in county health departments and in federally-funded community health
centers in rural areas and to provide opportunities for career...

Section 34-24-53.1 Board of Medical Examiners - Rulemaking authority. (a) The Legislature finds
and declares all of the following: (1) The power to make rules regulating the practice of
medicine or osteopathy includes the power to prohibit unlicensed persons from practicing medicine

is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this section to immunize the Board of Medical
Examiners and its members and the Medical Licensure Commission and...

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.
