22-2A-1
Section 22-2A-1 Legislative findings. The Legislature of Alabama finds that the high cost of
pharmaceuticals is a matter of much concern to this state, especially as the cost and utilization
of drug therapy continues to rise. Insofar as this rise represents a trend towards drug therapy
in lieu of more invasive and expensive procedures, it represents a positive change. At the
same time, increasing drug costs can effectively prevent large numbers of patients from accessing
vital medication. The solution to this problem should be market-based. This legislation attempts
such a solution by (1) consolidating the state's buying power in the pharmaceutical market,
and (2) authorizing the State Health Officer to negotiate rebates and discounts from pharmaceutical
manufacturers. The result should be better prices for agencies and departments of the State
of Alabama and better access to life-saving drugs for clients, by law, they are mandated to
serve. (Act 2002-494, p. 1262, §1.)...

Section 22-4A-1 Legislative findings and declarations. The Legislature of Alabama hereby finds
and declares that physicians engaged in family practice are in critical short supply in Alabama,
and further, that the distribution of such numbers that are available has created many areas
of shortage, especially in the underserved rural areas of Alabama. The Legislature hereby
declares that it regards the furtherance of a greater supply of family physicians to be of
great importance and further declares the establishment of programs pursuant to this chapter
to be desirable, necessary, and an economical method of increasing the number of family physicians
needed to provide medical services to the people of Alabama, especially in underserved rural
areas. (Acts 1990, No. 90-714, §1.)...

Section 31-13-2 Legislative findings. The State of Alabama finds that illegal immigration is
causing economic hardship and lawlessness in this state and that illegal immigration is encouraged
when public agencies within this state provide public benefits without verifying immigration
status. Because the costs incurred by school districts for the public elementary and secondary
education of children who are aliens not lawfully present in the United States can adversely
affect the availability of public education resources to students who are United States citizens
or are aliens lawfully present in the United States, the State of Alabama determines that
there is a compelling need for the State Board of Education to accurately measure and assess
the population of students who are aliens not lawfully present in the United States, in order
to forecast and plan for any impact that the presence such population may have on publicly
funded education in this state. The State of Alabama further...

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...

and certain self-administered counties and municipalities that choose to participate with
