of Alabama and the health and safety of the citizens of this state are in jeopardy. In accordance
with the previous declaration of Legislature contained in Act 513 of the Regular Session of
the 1975 Alabama Legislature it is the declared intent of this Legislature to insure that
quality medical services continue to be available at reasonable costs to the citizens of the
State of Alabama. This Legislature finds and declares that the increasing threat of legal
actions for alleged medical injury causes and contributes to an increase in health
care costs and places a heavy burden upon those who can least afford such increases, and that
the threat of such actions contributes to expensive medical procedures to be performed by
physicians and other health care providers which otherwise would not be considered necessary,
and that the spiraling costs and decreasing availability of essential medical services caused
by the threat of such litigation constitutes a danger to the health and...

Section 6-5-570 Statement of legislative intent. It is hereby declared by the Legislature of
the State of Alabama that a crisis threatens the delivery of legal service to the people of
Alabama and that the quality of legal services which should be made available to the citizens
of this state is in jeopardy. It is the declared intent of this Legislature to insure that
quality legal services continue to be available at reasonable costs to the citizens of the
State of Alabama. This Legislature finds and declares that the increasing threat of legal
actions against legal service providers contributes to an increase in the cost of legal services
and places a heavy burden upon those who can least afford such cost and that the threat of
such legal actions contributes to the expense of providing legal services to be performed
by legal service providers which otherwise would not be considered necessary, and that the
spiraling costs and decreasing availability of essential legal services caused...

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...

Section 41-10-621 Legislative findings and purpose. (a) The Legislature finds and declares
the following: (1) The State of Alabama has a great need from time to time to have access
to financing for economic development and industrial recruitment that does not involve improvements
to revenue-producing facilities. (2) It is desirable and in the public interest to establish
a state-level authority with the power to issue bonds for such general purposes. (3) The Alabama
Supreme Court has held, in effect, that only when the debt of a public corporation is payable
out of a new revenue source will such debt not be considered a debt of the state in contravention
of Section 213 of the Constitution of Alabama of 1901; the State of Alabama expects to receive
in the near future new revenues from the settlement of certain litigation between the state
and the tobacco industry. (4) By the passage of this division, it is the intention of the
Legislature to: a. Provide for the creation of a special...

Section 41-29-280 Legislative findings. The Legislature makes the following findings: (1) The
Alabama Industrial Development and Training Institute, hereinafter AIDT, was established in
fiscal year 1970-1971 as a contract program reporting to the State Board of Education through
the Division of Vocational-Technical Education. In 1976, the State Board of Education adopted
a resolution approving the establishment of AIDT as a mobile training institute, appointed
a director, established staff positions and salary schedules, and mandated personnel procedures
for the staff identical to those with technical colleges. AIDT continued operating under the
Department of Postsecondary Education when the Legislature established the department and

Education Trust Fund budget. (2) AIDT provides quality workforce development for the new and
expanding businesses in the state and expands the opportunities of its...

at the time of delivery to the first purchaser or upon replacing or adding a component part
that is alleged to have been a proximate cause of an accident. While protecting such manufacturers
during a remote period beginning long after the completion of their work, the article imposes
no unfair burden on the injured, deceased, or damaged party because a party is still afforded
an avenue of legal redress from others who are more likely to have been responsible for or
could have prevented such injury, death, or damage. (d) It is thus the legislative
objective to provide for the abolishing of rights of action, with certain exceptions, against
commercial aviation aircraft manufacturers that would have accrued after the passage of 12
years from delivery to the first purchaser or from replacing or adding a component part that
is alleged to have been a proximate cause of an accident, and all such actions will be forever
barred without relief to a claimant. Where causes of action accrue during...

Section 27-1-10.1 Insurance coverage for drugs to treat life-threatening illnesses. (a) The
Legislature finds and declares the following: (1) The citizens of this state rely upon health
insurance to cover the cost of obtaining health care and it is essential that the citizens'
expectation that their health care costs will be paid by their insurance policies is not disappointed
and that they obtain the coverage necessary and appropriate for their care within the terms
of their insurance policies. (2) Some insurers deny payment for drugs that have been approved
by the Federal Food and Drug Administration, hereafter referred to as FDA, when the drugs
are used for indications other than those stated in the labelling approved by the FDA, off-label
use, while other insurers with similar coverage terms do pay for off-label use. (3) Denial
of payment for off-label use can interrupt or effectively deny access to necessary and appropriate
treatment for a person being treated for a...
