Section 27-26-2 Purpose of chapter. It is hereby declared by the Legislature of the State of
Alabama that the availability of medical liability insurance at reasonable rates for the medical
profession, medical institutions, and other health care providers is essential to provide
adequate health services to the people of Alabama, and without such insurance, medical services
by the medical profession may be curtailed, and that while the need for such insurance is
increasing, availability is limited and likely to become increasingly so, unless remedial
legislation is enacted. The Legislature further finds and declares that by reason of complicated
and highly technical medical concepts, and the existence of sophisticated medical techniques,
decisions with respect to optional procedures of diagnosis and treatment have become increasingly
complex and are necessarily made on the basis of professional judgment, on which opinions
may and often will reasonably vary. It is the purpose of this...

Section 34-24-601 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds that the diversion, abuse, and
misuse of prescription medications classified as controlled substances under the Alabama Uniform
Controlled Substances Act constitute a serious threat to the health, safety, and welfare of
the citizens of the State of Alabama. The Legislature further finds that the registration
of all physicians providing pain management services, as defined in this article, will assist

needs to suspend the registration of these physicians providing pain management services when
the public health, safety, or welfare requires immediate action. (Act 2013-257, p. 673, §1.)...
