Section 40-18-130 Legislative intent. It is the intent of the Legislature to institute

retention of physicians and reduce inequities that a small or rural hospital and small or
rural communities have in the funding and recruitment of physician services. (Acts 1993, No.
93-313, p. 470, §1.)...

Section 5-18-2 Legislative findings of fact and declaration of intent. (a) The Legislature
finds as facts and determines that: (1) There exists among citizens of this state a widespread
demand for small loans. The scope and intensity of this demand have been increased progressively
by many social and economic forces; (2) The expense of making and collecting small loans,
which are usually made on comparatively unsubstantial security to wage earners, salaried employees
and other persons of relatively low incomes, is necessarily high in relation to the amounts
lent; (3) Such loans cannot be made profitably under the limitations imposed by existing laws
relating to interest and usury. These limitations have tended to exclude lawful enterprises
from the small loan field. Since the demand for small loans cannot be legislated out of existence,
many small borrowers have been left to the mercy of those willing to bear the opprobrium and
risk the penalties of usury for a large profit; (4)...

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 16-6D-3 Legislative findings and intent. (a) The Legislature finds and declares
all of the following: (1) To further the goals of public education throughout the state, each
school system should be able to have maximum possible flexibility to meet the needs of students
and the communities within its jurisdiction. (2) There is a critical need for innovative models
of public education that are tailored to the unique circumstances and needs of the students
in all schools and communities, and especially in schools and communities that are struggling
to improve academic outcomes and close the achievement gap. (3) To better serve students and
better use available resources, local boards of education, local school systems, and parents
need the ability to explore flexible alternatives in an effort to be more efficient and effective
in providing operational and programmatic services. (b) Therefore, it is the intent of the
Legislature to do all of the following: (1) Allow school systems...

Section 22-8A-2 Legislative intent. The Legislature finds that competent adult persons
have the right to control the decisions relating to the rendering of their own medical care,
including, without limitation, the decision to have medical procedures, life-sustaining treatment,
and artificially provided nutrition and hydration provided, withheld, or withdrawn in instances
of terminal conditions and permanent unconsciousness. In order that the rights of individuals
may be respected even after they are no longer able to participate actively in decisions about
themselves, the Legislature hereby declares that the laws of this state shall recognize the
right of a competent adult person to make a written declaration instructing his or her physician
to provide, withhold, or withdraw life-sustaining treatment and artificially provided nutrition
and hydration or designate by lawful written form a health care proxy to make decisions on
behalf of the adult person concerning the providing,...

1995, No. 95-535, p. 1082, §1.)...

Section 26-21-1 Legislative purpose and findings. (a) It is the intent of the Legislature
in enacting this parental consent provision to further the important and compelling state
interests of: (1) protecting minors against their own immaturity, (2) fostering the family
structure and preserving it as a viable social unit, and (3) protecting the rights of parents
to rear children who are members of their household. (b) The Legislature finds as fact that:
(1) immature minors often lack the ability to make fully informed choices that take account
of both immediate and long-range consequences, (2) the medical, emotional, and psychological
consequences of abortion are serious and can be lasting, particularly when the patient is
immature, (3) the capacity to become pregnant and the capacity for mature judgment concerning
the wisdom of an abortion are not necessarily related, (4) parents ordinarily possess information
essential to a physician's exercise of his or her best medical judgment...

11-92A-2
Section 11-92A-2 Legislative findings of fact and declaration of intent; construction
of article. (a) The Legislature hereby makes the following findings of fact and declares its
intent to be as follows: In recent years changes have taken place in the economy of the state
that have had a far-reaching effect on the welfare of its citizens. The agrarian economy that
once prevailed in the state and provided the principal means of livelihood for most of its
citizens has proven inadequate to provide employment for the state's growing population. The
advent of mechanized and scientific farming methods has reduced greatly the number of persons
required to obtain increased yields of agricultural products from land under cultivation.
There has been a correspondingly greater dependency upon industrial development as the bulwark
of the economy of the state. It is therefore appropriate and necessary that measures be taken
to secure to the citizens of the state the benefits of a strengthening...
