Section 34-8B-1 Legislative findings. The Legislature hereby finds and declares that it is
the policy of the state to promote the skill, art, and practice of court reporting in order
to assure that court reporters possess the necessary skills and qualifications and that a
board be established to prescribe the qualifications of court reporters and to issue licenses
to persons who demonstrate their ability and fitness for the licenses. This chapter is intended
to establish and maintain a standard of competency for individuals engaged in the practice
of court reporting and for the protection of the public, in general, and for the litigants
whose rights to personal freedom and property are affected by the competency of court reporters.
The examination, licensing, and supervision of the conduct and proficiency of court reporters
are integrally related to the effective, impartial, and prompt operation of the judicial system
of the State of Alabama. (Act 2006-200, p. 289, §1.)...

in judicial and administrative duties. (b) The Judge of Probate of Chambers County shall receive

40-18-370.1
Section 40-18-370.1 Legislative findings as to enhancement of Alabama Jobs Act. The Legislature
finds as follows: (a) While Alabama's incentive programs have succeeded in growing industry
in the more populated parts of the state, Alabama's rural and low growth communities have
not enjoyed the same rates of success. (b) Alabama's incentives grew out of a need to attract
heavy industry to the state. Now, Alabama must also prepare for the future by attracting and
retaining high-tech companies, and preparing and retaining a workforce trained for such jobs.
(c) New tools must be brought to bear to solve Alabama's rural, low growth, and high-tech
deficits. (d) It is a public purpose to expand Alabama's incentives laws to attract and retain
companies in rural and low growth areas in Alabama, and high-tech companies and workers throughout
the state. The tools used in Act 2019-392 are urgently needed to solve these problems. (e)
The Legislature finds that the enhancements to the Alabama Jobs...

Section 41-10-350 Legislative findings and purpose. The Legislature hereby finds and declares
that it is necessary, desirable and in the public interest that additional facilities be made
available in this state for mental health purposes. It is the intention of the Legislature
by the passage of this article to authorize the formation of a public corporation for the
purpose of providing for the acquisition, construction, improvement and equipment of the mental
health facilities (including improvements to existing facilities), and to authorize the said
corporation, in order to provide for payment of the costs of the said facilities, to anticipate
the proceeds of that portion of a special state tax (originally levied by Act No. 275, adopted
at the 1967 Regular Session of the Legislature of Alabama), that was levied for mental health
purposes by the issuance of the bonds of the said corporation payable solely from the proceeds
of the said tax. (Acts 1988, No. 88-475, p. 739, §1.)...

41-9-981
Section 41-9-981 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds and declares the following: (1)
During the period from 1933-1945, six million Jews and millions of other Europeans were murdered
in Nazi concentration camps as part of a carefully orchestrated program of cultural, social,
political, and ethnic genocide known as the Holocaust. (2) All people should remember the
horrible atrocities committed at that time and other times in human history as the result
of bigotry, discrimination, and the abuse of power and should continually rededicate themselves
to the principles of human rights and equal protection under the laws of this democratic society.
(3) It is desirable to educate Alabama citizens about the events leading up to the Holocaust
and about organizations, institutions, and facilities that were created and used purposefully
for the systematic destruction of human beings. (4) It is the policy of the State of Alabama
that Holocaust education is the proper concern of all peoples....

Section 9-13-271 Legislative findings. (a) The Legislature hereby finds and declares that the
application of prescribed burning is a landowner property right and a land management tool
that benefits the safety of the public, the environment, the natural resources, and the economy
of Alabama. Therefore, the Legislature finds that: (1) Prescribed burning reduces naturally
occurring vegetative fuels within wildland areas. The reduction of the fuel load reduces the
risk and severity of major catastrophic wildfire, thereby reducing the threat of loss of life
and property, particularly in urbanizing areas. (2) Many of Alabama's natural communities
require periodic fire for maintenance of their ecological integrity. Prescribed burning is
essential to the perpetuation, restoration, and management of many plant and animal communities.
Significant loss of the state's biological diversity will occur if fire is excluded from fire-dependent
ecosystems. (3) Forest lands constitute significant...

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...

16-1-11.1
Section 16-1-11.1 Autonomy of nonpublic schools - Legislative findings. The Legislature finds
and declares all of the following: (1) That a parent or guardian in Alabama has a constitutional
right to choose the type of K-12 education that is best for his or her child, whether public
or nonpublic, religious or nonreligious, and including home-based education. (2) That many
parents choose to home school or enroll their children in elementary and secondary nonpublic
schools, including private, church, parochial, or religious schools, that are not subject
to state regulation and do not receive state or federal funds. (3) That other than reporting
on the enrollment of students, these nonpublic K-12 schools have been primarily exempt from
state regulation and have only been required by state law to report the enrollment of students.
(4) That there is no national or state constitutional mandate that the government provide,
license, or regulate nonpublic education, including private, church,...

finds and declares all of the following: (1) A primary goal of the provision of health care
is to prioritize patient safety and wellness. (2) The board is in the best position to determine
the practice of chiropractic that prioritizes patient safety and wellness. (3) The power to
make rules regulating the practice of chiropractic includes the power to prohibit unlicensed
persons from practicing chiropractic and the power to regulate how licensed persons practice
chiropractic. (4) It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this section to immunize
the State Board of Chiropractic Examiners and its members from liability under state and federal
anti-trust laws for the adoption of a rule that prioritizes patient safety and wellness but
may be anti-competitive when the effect on public safety and wellness is clearly demonstrated
and documented by the State Board of Chiropractic Examiners....

Prioritizing patient safety and wellness may sometimes be at odds with the goals of state
and federal anti-trust laws, which include prioritizing competition and efficiency. (5) It
is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this section to immunize the Board of Medical
Examiners and its members and the Medical Licensure Commission and...
