the following: (1) The State of Alabama has a great need from time to time to have access
to financing for economic development and industrial recruitment that does not involve improvements
to revenue-producing facilities. (2) It is desirable and in the public interest to establish
a state-level authority with the power to issue bonds for such general purposes. (3) The Alabama

out of a new revenue source will such debt not be considered a debt of the state in contravention
of Section 213 of the Constitution of Alabama of 1901; the State of Alabama expects to receive

governmental function and purpose of the State of Alabama. Additionally, the Legislature of
Alabama intends to establish a qualified ABLE Program in this state which will encourage and

Section 17-5-8.2 Legislative findings. (a) The Legislature determines that there is a compelling
state and public interest in the disclosure of the source of funds used to advertise or otherwise
influence public opinion with regard to elections as defined in Section 17-5-2(3). The Legislature
further finds that these compelling interests should be designed to protect the public's right
to know while protecting free speech of individuals as guaranteed in the U.S. Constitution
and the Constitution of Alabama of 1901. (b) Currently, the Fair Campaign Practices Act, as
provided in this chapter, commencing with Section 17-5-1, et seq., regulates the disclosure

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
of the citizens of the State of Alabama. The Legislature further finds that establishment
of a controlled substances prescription database to monitor the prescribing and dispensing
of controlled substances will materially assist state regulators and practitioners authorized
to prescribe and dispense controlled substances in the prevention of diversion, abuse, and
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.)...

Section 22-19-140 Legislative intent. (a) The Legislature of Alabama is acutely aware of the
serious shortage of organs needed for transplantation. In its concern with this shortage of
organs, the Legislature intends to establish in this article, a mechanism for the requesting
of donor organs of any person who has died in a hospital and has not made an anatomical gift
to take effect upon death. (b) The Legislature of Alabama believes the citizens of Alabama
are compassionate and loving, and, in the appropriate circumstances, will respond to the request

of life". (c) It is also the intent of the Legislature of Alabama to encourage organ
donation in Alabama by establishing "The Lifesaving Organ Procurement Act of 1986."
(Acts 1986, No. 86-226, p. 333, §1.)...

Section 22-22A-2 Legislative intent and purposes of chapter. The Legislature finds the resources
of the state must be managed in a manner compatible with the environment, and the health and
welfare of the citizens of the state. To respond to the needs of its environment and citizens,
