Section 22-30-2 Legislative findings; purpose and intent of chapter. The Legislature finds
that the generation and management of hazardous waste is a continuing problem. Further, that
without adequate safeguards, the generation, transportation, treatment, storage and disposal
of such wastes can create conditions which threaten human health or the environment. The Legislature,
therefore, declares that in order to minimize and control any such hazardous conditions, it
is in the public interest to establish and to maintain a statewide program, administered by
the Alabama Department of Environmental Management, to provide for the safe management of
hazardous wastes. It is the intent of the Legislature that the Alabama Department of Environmental
Management seek and retain authorization to operate the State Hazardous Waste Management Program.
It is also the intent of the Legislature that the rules, regulations, guidelines and criteria
promulgated under authority of this chapter encourage...

Section 38-15-2 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds that there is a substantial need
to protect children and youth from abuse and neglect by persons entrusted with their physical
custody, and from persons or organizations that advertise, hold themselves out, or lead others
to believe that they will provide them with health, therapeutic, rehabilitative, or disciplinary
services, and from persons employed or exercising authority over them, and who they depend
upon to provide the basic necessities of life. The Legislature further finds that abuse and
neglect often take the form of the withholding of the basic necessities of life, including
food, water, shelter, clothing, and health care through an affirmative act or omission. It
is the intent of the Legislature to implement a baseline of registration and regulation requirements
for religious, faith-based, or church nonprofit, other nonprofit, and for profit affiliated
youth residential facilities and institutions that have...

8-6-111
Section 8-6-111 Legislative findings; purpose of article. (a) The Legislature finds and determines
that unscrupulous promoters may take advantage of the authorizing act by inducing issuers
to issue industrial revenue bonds which careful investigation by the issuer or other responsible
parties would reveal to be improvident. The standing of all issuers could be impaired and
the purposes of the Legislature in enacting the authorizing act could be thwarted by those
improvident issues. (b) The purpose of this article is to provide a procedure whereby the
State of Alabama, acting through the director and the commission, may assist in developing
facts to aid the issuer in the exercise of its authority under the authorizing act, and, to
that end, to delay the issuance of industrial revenue bonds pending adequate investigation
by the director or to prevent the issue of industrial revenue bonds found to be improvident.
(Acts 1978, No. 586, p. 681, §2; Acts 1992, No. 92-124, p. 224, §3.)...
