41-19A-2
Section 41-19A-2 Legislative findings. The Legislature recognizes that Alabama citizens demand
and deserve accountability for the expenditure of taxpayer funds. The Legislature further
recognizes that any member of the Alabama Legislature, as well as any other citizen, can lobby
for or offer support for a program administered by an entity that receives public funds. The
Legislature further recognizes that while at least two executive orders have banned pass-through
appropriations, not all entities are effectively included under these executive orders. (Act
2010-759, 1st Sp. Sess., p. 7, §2.)...

31-12A-1
Section 31-12A-1 Legislative findings. The Legislature recognizes the importance of active
military personnel, veterans, and military facilities to the well-being, safety, and economic
development of the State of Alabama. The Legislature further recognizes and finds that discharged
service members leave the military with documented training and experience that can prepare
them for civilian employment; however, this documentation is not always able to result in
qualifying them for licenses required for their occupation or providing them with academic
credit. By providing for expedited licensure and increased academic credit recognition for
a service member's military training and experience, the state can help promote the employment
of veterans. (Act 2013-350, p. 1255, §1.)...

30-6-2
Section 30-6-2 Legislative intent. The Legislature recognizes that persons who are victims
of domestic violence are in need of critical lifesaving services from specialized facilities
that possess relevant expertise to assist such persons. It is the intent of the Legislature
to assist in the development of certified domestic violence centers and the creation of appropriate
expanded services for the victims of domestic violence so that all victims obtain services
needed. It is further recognized that it is important to prevent domestic violence by determining
the root causes of such violence. (Acts 1981, No. 81-813, p. 1452, §2; Act 2015-493, §2.)...

41-10-590
Section 41-10-590 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds and declares the following: That
the State of Alabama places a high priority on the recruitment of industries to locate or
expand their operations in Alabama; that it is a vital economic development tool for the state
to be able to offer strategic incentives to such industries in the form of limited financial
commitments; that the Alabama Incentives Financing Authority has heretofore been created for
the purpose of funding such financial commitments made prior to July 20, 1995; and that by
the passage of Act 99-198 of the 1999 Regular Session it is the intention of the Legislature
to enable the authority to meet commitments made by the state to industries committing to
locate or expand in the state after such date and, further, to enable the authority to lease
or convey title to worker training facilities to the Alabama Public School and College Authority
and to the Alabama Industrial Development Training Institute. The...

12-23A-3
Section 12-23A-3 Legislative intent. (a) The Legislature recognizes that a critical need exists
in this state for the criminal justice system to more effectively address the number of defendants
who are involved with substance abuse or addiction. For the criminal justice system to maintain
credibility, court and community alternatives for the substance abuse and addiction involved
defendant must be expanded. A growing body of research demonstrates the impact of substance
abuse on public safety, personal health, and health care costs, the spread of communicable
disease, educational performance and attainment, work force reliability and productivity,
family safety, and financial stability. Requiring accountability and effective treatment,
in addition to or in place of, conventional and expensive incarceration, will promote public
safety, the welfare of the individuals involved, reduce the burden upon the State Treasury
and benefit the common welfare of this state. The goals of this...

40-18-370.1
Section 40-18-370.1 Legislative findings as to enhancement of Alabama Jobs Act. The Legislature
finds as follows: (a) While Alabama's incentive programs have succeeded in growing industry
in the more populated parts of the state, Alabama's rural and low growth communities have
not enjoyed the same rates of success. (b) Alabama's incentives grew out of a need to attract
heavy industry to the state. Now, Alabama must also prepare for the future by attracting and
retaining high-tech companies, and preparing and retaining a workforce trained for such jobs.
(c) New tools must be brought to bear to solve Alabama's rural, low growth, and high-tech
deficits. (d) It is a public purpose to expand Alabama's incentives laws to attract and retain
companies in rural and low growth areas in Alabama, and high-tech companies and workers throughout
the state. The tools used in Act 2019-392 are urgently needed to solve these problems. (e)
The Legislature finds that the enhancements to the Alabama Jobs...

16-61E-1
Section 16-61E-1 Legislative findings; purpose. The Legislature finds that information technology
is an area of rapid change in which specialized knowledge and equipment are often essential.
The Legislature further recognizes that substantial savings may be realized by aggregating
the purchasing power of educational institutions. The Legislature therefore desires to authorize
the joint purchase of information technology and further recognizes that in an effort to truly
have fair and competitive bidding as well as ensure quality vendors, any companies that have
ISO-9001 certification or any companies or contractors whose affiliates, subdivisions, subsidiaries,
or departments have ISO-9001 certification can bid on the information technology to be jointly
purchased by educational institutions. (Act 2003-392, p. 1111, §1.)...

11-53B-1
Section 11-53B-1 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds all of the following: (1) It is
estimated that within the municipalities of the state, there exist several thousand parcels
of real property that due to poor design, obsolescence, or neglect, have become unsafe to
the extent of becoming public nuisances. Much of this property is vacant or in a state of
disrepair and is causing or may cause a blight or blighting influence on the city and the
neighborhoods in which the property is located. Such property constitutes a threat to the
health, safety, and welfare to the citizens of the state and is an impediment to economic
development within the municipality. This threat can be minimized if an incorporated municipality
is authorized to repair the affected structures and is able to recover the cost of the repairs.
In addition, where the municipality has undertaken the demolition of the structures and has
taken a lien on the real property for the cost of the demolition, there has not...

11-92C-1
Section 11-92C-1 Legislative intent. The redevelopment, revitalization, and redevelopment of
land contiguous with a U.S. Air Force military installation operating within any municipality
or county in this state, whether operational or formerly operational, promotes the public
good by encouraging the initial development, redevelopment, and revitalization of the land,
and the retention of U.S. Air Force military installations within the state. It is therefore
in the public interest and is vital to the public welfare of the people of Alabama, and it
is declared to be the public purpose of this chapter, to develop, revitalize, and redevelop
land contiguous with United States military installations throughout the State of Alabama.
(Act 2020-72, §1.)...

22-8B-2
Section 22-8B-2 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds all of the following: (1) In almost
every state, it is a crime to assist a suicide. These bans are long-standing expressions of
the commitment of the states to protect and preserve all human life. (2) The state has an
interest in protecting vulnerable groups, including the impoverished, the elderly, and disabled
persons from abuse, neglect, and mistakes. A ban on assisted suicide reflects and reinforces
our belief that the lives of those in vulnerable groups are no less valued than the lives
of the young and healthy. (3) The state has an interest in protecting the integrity and ethics
of the medical profession, including its obligation to serve its patients as healers and adhere
to the principles articulated in the Hippocratic Oath. (4) The state recognizes the close
link between physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia where a right to die can easily become
a duty to die. A prohibition against assisted suicide is the only...
