Section 16-6C-1 Legislative findings. (a) Just as there is value in assigning grades that reflect
the performance of public school students in Alabama, the Legislature finds that there is
also value in assigning grades that reflect the performance of the public schools attended
by public school students in Alabama. The Legislature further finds that an easy to understand
school grading system would best serve the interests of the public as a whole, and specifically
the parents and guardians of public school students, by providing another transparent layer
of accountability for the public dollars allocated to elementary and secondary education in
the state. (b) The Legislature also finds that there is a need for a program to reward public
K-12 schools in Alabama that demonstrate high achievement. The Legislature further finds that

and should be infused into the public sector as a reward for...

Section 34-14A-1 Legislative intent. In the interest of the public health, safety, welfare,
and consumer protection and to regulate the home building and private residence construction
industry, the purpose of this chapter, and the intent of the Legislature in passing it, is
to provide for the licensure of those persons who engage in home building, private residence
construction, and home improvement industries, including remodeling, and to provide home building
standards and to support education within the construction trades in the State of Alabama.

incompetent, or dishonest home builders and remodelers provide inadequate, unsafe, or inferior
building services. The Legislature finds it necessary to regulate the residential home building
and home improvement industries. (Acts 1992, No. 92-608,...

Section 22-6-191 Legislative intent. The intent of this article is to allow the only PACE provider
in the State of Alabama to continue to provide services to nursing home eligible patients
as the PACE program provides treatment to patients for fewer federal and state taxpayer dollars
than other programs existing in the state. The Legislature declares that this article is broad-based
in nature as the assessment herein is imposed on all health care or services in the class
of providers and is uniformly imposed across all providers. The Legislature further declares
that the entire PACE industry in Alabama exists only in Class 2 municipalities. The Legislature
further recognizes that a Class 2 municipality bill is a general bill under the Alabama Constitution.
