Section 5-26-2 Legislative findings. The activities of mortgage loan originators and the origination
or offering of financing for residential real property have a direct, valuable, and immediate

credit is vital to the state's citizens. The Legislature also finds that it is essential for

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 controlled substances will materially assist state regulators and practitioners authorized

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 11-100-2 Legislative findings. The Legislature hereby finds and determines that: (1)
The convention industry is a vital and beneficial industry for the State of Alabama and promotes
the health, welfare, progress, and physical and economic well-being of the people of this
state. (2) Adequate facilities are essential to the proper development of the meeting and
entertainment industries. Adequate convention facilities are often not self-supporting so
as to permit their financing with revenue bonds, but generate economic activity and stimulate
business and commerce in the affected locality, and throughout the state, through increased
demand for goods and services furnished by restaurants, hotels, places of entertainment, as
well as stores, shops and other establishments, and, as a consequence, they generate additional
state and local tax revenues. (3) It is in the interest of the state and its cities and counties,
for the state to assist any city, county, and entities or...

26-23C-2
Section 26-23C-2 Legislative findings. (a) The Legislature of the State of Alabama finds all
of the following: (1) Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, P.L. 111-148,
federal tax dollars, via affordability credits, subsidies provided to individuals between
150-400 percent of the federal poverty level, are routed to exchange participating health
insurance plans, including plans that provide coverage for abortions. (2) Federal funding
of insurance plans that provide abortions is an unprecedented change in federal abortion funding
policy. The Hyde Amendment, as passed each year in the Labor Health and Human Services Appropriations
bill, and the Federal Employee Health Benefits Program, FEHBP, prohibit federal funds from
subsidizing health insurance plans that provide abortions. Under this new law, however, exchange
participating health insurance plans that provide abortions can receive federal funds. (3)
The provision of federal funding for health insurance plans that...
