Section 16-23-16.1 Creation of Professional Teachers Standards Commission; designation or development
of entry-level pre-certification examination for teacher candidates. (a) The Legislature finds
that Alabama is alone among the southern states in not testing teacher candidates before allowing
them in the classroom, and acknowledges that the need exists to establish, maintain, and enforce
minimum professional standards for teacher candidates in the State of Alabama. In response
to such need, there is hereby created a Professional Teachers Standards Commission (the commission)
for the State of Alabama. The commission shall consist of 11 members appointed by the Governor
in the following manner: The Alabama Congress of Parents and Teachers Association, Alabama

Section 16-57-5 Funding from Education Trust Fund. The Legislature finds that Tuskegee University
has a unique relationship to the State of Alabama. The Legislature further finds that due
to the unique nature of the circumstances related to the establishment and development of
Tuskegee Institute which differs from that of private schools and colleges receiving funds
from the state and from the state's public colleges and universities, the institution should
be afforded a unique treatment relative to funding from the Education Trust Fund. Tuskegee
Institute was established by an act of the Legislature in 1881 and separately incorporated
by an act of the Legislature in 1892; the Governor appoints five commissioners who serve as
voting members on the Tuskegee Board; and the State Superintendent of Education serves as
an ex officio voting commissioner on the Tuskegee Board. Tuskegee has received appropriations
from the Legislature since 1881. Being a private institution as well as a state...

Section 23-1-291 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds that certain portions of the state
highway system provide access to state locales that are notable for their scenic, natural,
historic, recreational, cultural, and archaeological value and are therefore worthy of designations
as scenic byways in order to provide special consideration of their unique features and special
role in the highway system. The Legislature further finds that the public interest would be
served by the formation of a coordinated scenic byways program to enhance recreational, cultural,
and archaeological resources, encourage economic development through tourism, improve the
transportation system, and educate residents and visitors on the history, culture, and natural
beauty of this state. In order to implement this program, the Legislature has determined that
a two-tiered structure would best serve the governance of the Alabama Scenic Byways program.
The Legislature recognizes that the application of this...

45-49A-82
Section 45-49A-82 Legislative findings; purpose. The Legislature of Alabama finds and declares
that the health, safety, and welfare of the people of the City of Prichard, in Mobile County,
Alabama, 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 city 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 part to encourage new economic activity
in this depressed area 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.

Section 22-35-1 Legislative findings and intent. The Legislature of the State of Alabama finds
and declares that certain lands of Alabama constitute unique and delicately balanced resources;
that the protection of these resources is vital to the economy of this state; and that the
preservation of waters is a matter of the highest urgency and priority as these waters provide
a primary source of potable water in this state; that such use can only be served effectively
by maintaining the quality of waters in as close to a comparable previous condition as possible,
taking into account multiple use accommodations necessary to provide the broadest possible
promotion of public and private interests. The Legislature further finds that where contamination
of soils or waters has occurred, remedial measures have often been delayed for long periods
while determinations as to liability and the extent of liability are made; that such delays
result in the continuation and intensification of the...

Section 25-11-2 Legislative findings and intent. The Legislature finds that individuals need
to take more personal responsibility for their actions. The Legislature further finds that
certain individuals are not meeting their legal child support obligations. It is the express
intent of the Legislature that individuals with legal child support obligations be located
and required to take financial responsibility for their children by paying these child support
obligations. A "new hire" reporting procedure shall require employers to obtain
certain information from newly hired, recalled, or rehired individuals. This information shall
be reported to the Department of Labor which shall form a State Directory of New Hires and
the information shall be used by the Department of Human Resources to cross-match these individuals
with individuals having outstanding legal child support obligations. The Legislature further
finds that there are certain individuals being overpaid unemployment...

Section 26-10D-2 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds all of the following: (1) Alabama
provides state licensed child placing services through various state, charitable, religious,
and private organizations. (2) Religious organizations, in particular, have a lengthy and
distinguished history of providing child placing services that predate government involvement.
(3) Religious organizations have long been licensed and should continue to contract with and
be licensed by the state to provide child placing services. (4) The faith of the people of

inspired their service. (5) Religious organizations display particular excellence when providing
child placing services. (6) Religious organizations cannot provide...
