Section 22-4-31 Legislative findings. The Legislature does hereby set out the following findings
and reasons for passage of this article. Alabama has adopted a system of health planning and
development administered by the State Health Planning and Development Agency (SHPDA). In addition,
the Statewide Health Coordinating Council (SHCC) is charged with reviewing Alabama's health
planning needs and writing the State Health Plan to assist the Certificate of Need Review
Board. The Certificate of Need Review Board is responsible for reviewing and approving certificate
of need applications in Alabama. There is no current systematic way for the SHPDA, SHCC, or
the Certificate of Need Review Board to collect all the health care services information necessary
for proper health care planning in Alabama, because reporting to SHPDA is voluntary. The Legislature
hereby finds and determines that collection of additional health care information is necessary
for informed statewide health planning. The...

Section 29-2-1 Legislative findings and intent. The Legislature hereby finds and declares as
follows: improving the efficiency, cost effectiveness and performance of all branches of government
can only be achieved with proper oversight, accountability, and transparency in government
decision making and processes for service delivery; a long-range program of highway development
and maintenance in Alabama (herein "the state") is vital to the safety of the traveling
public as well as the industrial and agricultural growth of the state; the highway system
in the state must be adequate to meet expanding needs; highway construction, maintenance,
and administration to support such a system should include long-range planning, soundness
in scope of the highway program, efficient performance, and fiscal responsibility in both
policy and planning; the use of a long-range highway program will further the judicious expenditure
of highway funds, will promote the public safety and convenience, will...

Section 5-18-2 Legislative findings of fact and declaration of intent. (a) The Legislature
finds as facts and determines that: (1) There exists among citizens of this state a widespread
demand for small loans. The scope and intensity of this demand have been increased progressively
by many social and economic forces; (2) The expense of making and collecting small loans,
which are usually made on comparatively unsubstantial security to wage earners, salaried employees
and other persons of relatively low incomes, is necessarily high in relation to the amounts
lent; (3) Such loans cannot be made profitably under the limitations imposed by existing laws
relating to interest and usury. These limitations have tended to exclude lawful enterprises
from the small loan field. Since the demand for small loans cannot be legislated out of existence,
many small borrowers have been left to the mercy of those willing to bear the opprobrium and
risk the penalties of usury for a large profit; (4)...

Section 11-40-16 Creation of enterprise zones within Class 1 cities; purpose. (a) The Legislature
of Alabama hereby finds and declares that the health, safety, and welfare of the people of
Class 1 cities are enhanced by the continual encouragement, development, growth, and expansion
of private enterprise within this state. That there are certain economically depressed areas
in such cities that need particular attention to create new jobs, stimulate economic activity,
and attract private sector investment rather than government subsidy to improve the quality
of life of their citizens. It is the purpose of this section to encourage new economic activity
in these depressed areas of such Class 1 cities by means of reduced taxes and the removal
of unnecessary governmental barriers to the production and earning of wages and profits and
the creation of economic growth. (b) In order to further the purposes of this section, Class
1 cities are hereby authorized to create by ordinance one or more...

Section 22-6-233 Legislative findings; certification of collaborators; powers of Medicaid Agency;
state action immunity. (a) The Legislature declares that collaboration among public payers,
private health carriers, third party purchasers, and providers to identify appropriate service
delivery systems and reimbursement methods in order to align incentives in support of integrated
and coordinated health care delivery is in the best interest of the public. Collaboration
pursuant to this article is to provide quality health care at the lowest possible cost to
Alabama citizens who are Medicaid eligible. The Legislature, therefore, declares that this
health care delivery system affirmatively contemplates the foreseeable displacement of competition,
such that any anti-competitive effect may be attributed to the state's policy to displace
competition in the delivery of a coordinated system of health care for the public benefit.
In furtherance of this goal, the Legislature declares its intent...

Section 37-16-2 Legislative findings. (a) The Legislature finds and declares the following:
(1) More advanced communication capabilities, broadband facilities, and services are needed
in many rural and underserved areas of the state. (2) Electric providers in those rural and
underserved areas are capable of providing infrastructure for such advanced communications
capabilities and providing, directly or indirectly, broadband facilities or services. (3)
The investment in and development of advanced communications capabilities for providing broadband
facilities and services are necessary to better serve the public in those rural and underserved
areas. (4) The continued lack of advanced communication capabilities, broadband facilities,
and services in rural and underserved areas deprives citizens residing in these areas from
access to opportunities such that the state needs to take action to correct and eliminate
these discrepancies. (5) It is the public policy of this state to encourage...

Section 9-8A-2 Legislative findings and declaration of purpose. It is hereby found and declared
to be the policy of the state to provide for the restoration and conservation of the soil
resources of this state, to provide for the improvement of water used in agriculture, and
