16-25A-40
Section 16-25A-40 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds that private employers have provided
their employees with flexible employee benefit plans which provide a savings both to the employer
and the employee, and that the State of Alabama, its departments and agencies, may provide
the same tax-effective benefits to its public education employees. It is, therefore, the intent
of the Legislature to provide for the establishment of one statewide, universal "cafeteria
plan" or flexible employee benefit plan to be made available to all employees in public
education in compliance with the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and to implement the plan
in accordance with the rules and regulations established by the Public Education Flexible
Employees' Benefit Board created by this article. (Act 2004-650, 1st Sp. Sess., p. 31, §1.)...

16-33B-2
Section 16-33B-2 Legislative findings and purposes. The Legislature declares that there exists
within the State of Alabama a lack of sufficient availability of loans to residents of Alabama
who choose to attend a postsecondary educational institution and who have a financial need
in order to pay a portion or all of such residents' educationally related expenses at the
postsecondary educational institution. This chapter establishes a guaranteed student loan
program which is intended to provide increased access to educational loans for Alabama residents.

25-8-32
Section 25-8-32 Legislative findings and intent. The Legislature has found that Alabama law
has not kept pace with federal standards regulating the employment of minors to the extent
that it has become increasingly difficult for employers to comply with conflicting state and
federal child labor requirements. Accordingly, numerous changes are necessary to make the
child labor laws of Alabama compatible with the United States Department of Labor regulations
governing the employment of minors in nonagricultural occupations. Similarly, there is also
a need to remove anachronistic language and make clarifications to existing standards. In
view of the foregoing findings, the Legislature through this chapter intends to do all of
the following: (1) Conform with 17 federal hazardous orders. (2) Remove exemptions for domestic
service and the grading or handling, or both, of agricultural products. (3) Add a restriction
for occupations which involve working at heights exceeding six feet, as well...

37-11B-2
Section 37-11B-2 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds and determines that: (1) There
exists in the State of Alabama a continuing need to construct, improve, and invest in rail
and rail infrastructure within the state. A strong rail infrastructure promotes economic development
and employment opportunities and promotes the public good and general welfare of the state.
(2) The public purpose of this chapter is to develop a coordinated program related to the
rail infrastructure within the State of Alabama, including, but not limited to, the construction
of such additional rail lines or tracks as may be necessary or advisable, the maintenance
and improvement of the existing rail infrastructure, and the prudent use of state funds to
take advantage of any opportunities for federal funding assistance that may be available.

41-1-40
Section 41-1-40 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds and declares that the making and
managing of investments or the borrowing of money by governmental entities involves a variety
of interest rate, investment, payment, and similar risks. A number of financial instruments
are available to hedge against those risks. Many governmental entities lack express statutory
authority to take advantage of those instruments, and it is desirable that they have the authority.

Section 6-5-155 Legislative findings and declarations. The Legislature finds and declares the
following: (1) There is a drug crisis in the State of Alabama which is plaguing our neighborhoods
and our housing and rental accommodations. (2) Drugs have caused an increase in crime and
violence and a deterioration in the habitability of housing and rental accommodations, as
well as diminished property values. (3) Currently there are inadequate incentives for property
owners to take a more active role in preventing the use of their property for the manufacture,
use, sale, storage, or distribution of drugs. (Acts 1996, No. 96-566, p. 849, §1.)...

Section 2-6-71 Declaration of purpose and legislative findings. The Legislature has found and
determined and does hereby declare that in certain areas of this state, there are inadequate
market facilities available to Alabama farmers for the efficient handling and sale of agricultural
and agriculture related products. The Legislature has also found and determined, and does
hereby declare that the coliseum is in dire need of repair and is in such poor condition as
to limit its use by the public. It is the intent of the Legislature, by the passage of this
article, to authorize the incorporation of a public corporation as an instrumentality of the
state for the purpose of borrowing funds to finance the construction of an adequate market
facility and the renovation of the coliseum and to vest said corporation with all powers,
rights, privileges and titles that may be necessary to accomplish said purposes. This article
shall be liberally construed in conformity with said intent. (Acts 1984,...

34-3-100
Section 34-3-100 Legislative findings and intent. The Legislature hereby finds and declares
that it is necessary and desirable, in the best interests of the state, that the Alabama State
Bar have a building or buildings with space available for its administrative offices, for
its Board of Commissioners, for the Board of Examiners on Admission to the State Bar, for
the storage of library and other educational materials relating to the improvement of the
administration of justice, for its standing and other committees and the staffs of its professional
journals, for continuing legal education activities and for other related purposes. It is
the intention of the Legislature by the passage of this article to authorize the incorporation
of the president, the first vice-president and the secretary of the Alabama State Bar as a
public corporation for the purpose of constructing, erecting, owning, operating, and maintaining
such a building or buildings and to vest such corporation with all...

38-15-2
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...
