Section 20-2-210 Legislative findings. The Alabama Legislature hereby finds that the diversion,
abuse, and misuse of prescription medications classified as controlled substances under the
Alabama Uniform Controlled Substances Act constitutes a serious threat to the health and welfare

misuse of controlled substances prescription medication through the provision of education
and information, early intervention, and prevention of diversion, and investigation and enforcement
of existing laws governing the use of controlled substances. (Act 2004-443, p. 781, §1.)...

health problems in the State of Alabama and a major cause of death and long-term disability.

misuse of prescription medications classified as controlled substances under the Alabama Uniform
Controlled Substances Act constitute a serious threat to the health, safety, and welfare of
the citizens of the State of Alabama. The Legislature further finds that the registration

the Alabama Board of Medical Examiners in preventing the diversion, abuse, and misuse of controlled

Section 41-4-350 Legislative findings; purpose. (a) The Legislature of Alabama hereby finds
and determines that the responsible stewardship of its state-owned and leased real property
is a proper governmental function of the State of Alabama. The Legislature finds that costs
for maintenance, construction, and leasing of real property in the state government comprise
a significant portion of available resources. The Legislature also finds that as one of the
largest owners and operators of buildings in Alabama, the state is a major consumer of energy.
It is therefore the intent of Act 2015-435 to establish centralized management of real property
through leasing administration, facilities maintenance and management, and construction management
that consists of expanded duties in existing divisions, as well as newly established divisions,
within the Department of Finance. In establishing this centralization, it is further the intent
of the Legislature to establish comprehensive real...

Section 2-6-11 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds that the Garrett Coliseum and the
Alabama Agricultural Center, hereinafter the facility, is a significant historic facility
owned by the State of Alabama and which faces imminent closure because of operational and
public safety concerns if it is not restored, renovated, and improved. The facility was designed
in 1949 by Betty Robinson, the first woman graduate from Auburn University with a degree in
architecture. The facility, completed in 1953, is of historic and cultural significance to
the State of Alabama and its restoration will enhance opportunities for economic development
that will benefit the state. The Legislature further finds that the most efficient way to
restore the facility and to operate it profitably is for the Alabama Agricultural Center Board,
hereinafter referred to as the board, to enter into agreements with public institutions and
other entities through which the use of private funding is primarily used to...

reduction, termination, loss of privileges, denial of aid or benefits, and refusal to license,

Section 28-4A-6 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds that it is in the best interest
of the public welfare of the State of Alabama to preserve and redevelop the downtown municipal
areas and registered historic districts and certain economically distressed areas of this
state and to further promote the preservation and redevelopment of historic buildings and
sites. The Legislature finds that an effective way of facilitating the urban redevelopment
program and the preservation of historic buildings and sites, and registered historic districts
and any economically distressed area designated as suitable by the municipal or county governing
body is by creating a single exception to the existing alcoholic beverage laws to authorize
and permit the establishment of brewpubs located in such historic buildings, sites, or districts
in urban redevelopment areas or economically distressed areas of those municipalities located
within counties where the brewing of beer for consumption by the...
