Section 8-19C-1 Legislative findings. The Legislature of Alabama finds all of the following:
(1) The use of the telephone to market goods and services to the home is pervasive now due
to the increased use of cost-effective telemarketing techniques. (2) Over 30,000 businesses
actively telemarket goods and services to business and residential customers. (3) Everyday,
over 300,000 solicitors place calls to more than 18 million Americans, including citizens
of this state. (4) Telemarketing, however, can be an intrusive and relentless invasion of
the privacy and peacefulness of the home. (5) Many citizens of this state are outraged over
the proliferation of nuisance calls to their homes from telemarketers. (6) Privacy rights
and commercial freedom of speech of individuals can be balanced in a way that accommodates

Section 27-26-2 Purpose of chapter. It is hereby declared by the Legislature of the State of
Alabama that the availability of medical liability insurance at reasonable rates for the medical
profession, medical institutions, and other health care providers is essential to provide
adequate health services to the people of Alabama, and without such insurance, medical services
by the medical profession may be curtailed, and that while the need for such insurance is
increasing, availability is limited and likely to become increasingly so, unless remedial
legislation is enacted. The Legislature further finds and declares that by reason of complicated
and highly technical medical concepts, and the existence of sophisticated medical techniques,
decisions with respect to optional procedures of diagnosis and treatment have become increasingly
complex and are necessarily made on the basis of professional judgment, on which opinions
may and often will reasonably vary. It is the purpose of this...

Section 41-9-941 Declaration of findings. The Legislature hereby finds as follows: (1) The
state and federal governments are facing unprecedented demands for government services in
a time of proration, national deficit spending, increasing national debt, a highly competitive
