Section 6-12-1 Legislative findings. The Legislature of Alabama finds as follows: (1) Cigarette
smoking presents serious public health concerns to the state and to the citizens of the state.
The Surgeon General has determined that smoking causes lung cancer, heart disease, and other
serious diseases, and that there are hundreds of thousands of tobacco-related deaths in the
United States each year. These diseases most often do not appear until many years after the
person in question begins smoking. (2) Cigarette smoking also presents serious financial concerns
for the state. Under certain health care programs, the state may have a legal obligation to
provide medical assistance to eligible persons for health conditions associated with cigarette
smoking, and those persons may have a legal entitlement to receive such medical assistance.
(3) Under these programs, the state pays millions of dollars each year to provide medical
assistance for these persons for health conditions associated...

Section 6-5-520 Intent of Legislature; legislative findings; collateral source rule modified.
The Legislature finds that product liability litigation has increased substantially and the
cost of such litigation has risen in recent years. The Legislature further finds that these
increases have an impact upon the price and availability of products. It is the belief of
the Legislature that there are special reasons for modifying the collateral source rule in
this state as it applies to product liability actions. The Legislature finds that the recovery
by plaintiffs of medical and hospital expenses as damages where plaintiffs are reimbursed
for the same medical and hospital expenses from other sources contributes to the increase
in the cost of product liability litigation. It is the intent of the Legislature that plaintiffs
be compensated fully for any medical or hospital expenses incurred as a result of injuries
sustained from a breach of product liability laws, but that plaintiffs not...

Section 16-33C-1 Legislative intent. The Legislature of Alabama hereby finds and determines
that the advancement and improvement of higher education in the State of Alabama is a proper
governmental function and purpose of the State of Alabama. Additionally, the Legislature of
Alabama intends to establish a qualified ABLE Program in this state which will encourage and
assist Alabama individuals and families in saving private funds for the purpose of supporting
Alabama citizens with disabilities. It is therefore the legislative intent of this chapter
to establish the Wallace-Folsom Savings Investment Plan that consists of the ABLE Program,
ACES Program, and the PACT Program. In establishing this plan, it is further the intent of
the Legislature to encourage timely financial planning for higher education and other qualified
disability expenses. (Acts 1989, No. 89-862, p. 1717, §1; Acts 1990, No. 90-570, p. 970,
§1; Act 2001-427, p. 544, §1; Act 2015-442, §1.)...

Section 16-57-5 Funding from Education Trust Fund. The Legislature finds that Tuskegee University
has a unique relationship to the State of Alabama. The Legislature further finds that due
to the unique nature of the circumstances related to the establishment and development of
Tuskegee Institute which differs from that of private schools and colleges receiving funds
from the state and from the state's public colleges and universities, the institution should
be afforded a unique treatment relative to funding from the Education Trust Fund. Tuskegee
Institute was established by an act of the Legislature in 1881 and separately incorporated
by an act of the Legislature in 1892; the Governor appoints five commissioners who serve as
voting members on the Tuskegee Board; and the State Superintendent of Education serves as
an ex officio voting commissioner on the Tuskegee Board. Tuskegee has received appropriations
from the Legislature since 1881. Being a private institution as well as a state...

16-6C-1
Section 16-6C-1 Legislative findings. (a) Just as there is value in assigning grades that reflect
the performance of public school students in Alabama, the Legislature finds that there is
also value in assigning grades that reflect the performance of the public schools attended
by public school students in Alabama. The Legislature further finds that an easy to understand
school grading system would best serve the interests of the public as a whole, and specifically
the parents and guardians of public school students, by providing another transparent layer
of accountability for the public dollars allocated to elementary and secondary education in
the state. (b) The Legislature also finds that there is a need for a program to reward public
K-12 schools in Alabama that demonstrate high achievement. The Legislature further finds that
performance-based incentives and increased autonomy are commonplace in the private sector
and should be infused into the public sector as a reward for...
