Section 22-35-1 Legislative findings and intent. The Legislature of the State of Alabama finds
and declares that certain lands of Alabama constitute unique and delicately balanced resources;
that the protection of these resources is vital to the economy of this state; and that the
preservation of waters is a matter of the highest urgency and priority as these waters provide
a primary source of potable water in this state; that such use can only be served effectively
by maintaining the quality of waters in as close to a comparable previous condition as possible,
taking into account multiple use accommodations necessary to provide the broadest possible
promotion of public and private interests. The Legislature further finds that where contamination
of soils or waters has occurred, remedial measures have often been delayed for long periods
while determinations as to liability and the extent of liability are made; that such delays
result in the continuation and intensification of the...

Section 45-49-42 Legislative findings. The Legislature of the State of Alabama declares and
finds that the business of operating massage parlors as defined herein are businesses affecting
the public health, safety, and general welfare; that such businesses have been used in Mobile
County and elsewhere as fronts for the conduct of prostitution, assignation, and lewdness;
that the method of operation of such business generally is such that female persons bargain
with male customers for illicit sexual activities, including prostitution and sodomy, only
after performing so-called massages while the male customer is nude, and after engaging the
customer as part of the so-called massage in sexual foreplay to the point of sexual arousal;
that because of the method of operation the gathering of evidence by law enforcement officers
sufficient for the officers to make an arrest or to institute some other civil proceeding
requires male officers to pose as customers, and to perform degrading,...

Section 25-5-14 Legislative findings and intent as to actions filed by injured employee against
officers, etc., of same employer. The Legislature finds that actions filed on behalf of injured
employees against officers, directors, agents, servants, or employees of the same employer
seeking to recover damages in excess of amounts received or receivable from the employer under
the workers' compensation statutes of this state and predicated upon claimed negligent or
wanton conduct resulting in injuries arising out of and in the course of employment are contrary
to the intent of the Legislature in adopting a comprehensive workers' compensation scheme
and are producing a debilitating and adverse effect upon efforts to retain existing, and to
attract new industry to this state. Specifically, the existence of such causes of action places
this state at a serious disadvantage in comparison to the existing laws of other states with
whom this state competes in seeking to attract and retain...

and private organizations. (2) Religious organizations, in particular, have a lengthy and
distinguished history of providing child placing services that predate government involvement.
(3) Religious organizations have long been licensed and should continue to contract with and

26-23A-2
Section 26-23A-2 Legislative findings; purpose. (a) The Legislature of the State of Alabama
finds that: (1) It is essential to the psychological and physical well-being of a woman considering
an abortion that she receive complete and accurate information on her alternatives. (2) Most
abortions are performed in clinics devoted solely to providing abortions and family planning
services. Most women who seek abortions at these facilities do not have any relationship with
the physician who performs the abortion, before or after the procedure. Most women do not
return to the facility for post-surgical care. In most instances, the woman's only actual
contact with the physician occurs simultaneously with the abortion procedure, with little
opportunity to receive counseling concerning her decision. (3) The decision to abort is an
important, and often a stressful one, and it is desirable and imperative that it be made with
full knowledge of its nature and consequences. The medical, emotional,...
