38-9C-2
Section 38-9C-2 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds that services to persons with developmental
disabilities and traumatic brain injury must be based on individual need, provided by appropriately
qualified individuals, and available to persons with developmental disabilities in community
environments. Services should be provided in a way which is normalizing as well as respectful
of the rights, feelings, and responsibilities of each person with a disability. Services should
also focus on enabling individuals to maintain responsibility for setting their own goals,
directing their own lives, and acting responsibly as members of their community. Persons who
have disabilities shall not be deprived of any right, benefit, or privilege guaranteed by
law, the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, or the Constitution of the United States without
due process of law. (Acts 1995, No. 95-690, p. 1502, §2.)...

41-10-621
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...

16-33A-2
Section 16-33A-2 Legislative findings; purpose of chapter. The Legislature declares that there
exists within the State of Alabama a number of accredited independent colleges and universities
whose facilities could be used more effectively in the public interest by the grant of financial
assistance to residents of the state who choose to attend such colleges and universities,
in order to pay a portion of such residents' institutional related expenses at such colleges
and universities, thereby reducing the cost to taxpayers of the state below the cost of providing
similar instruction to such residents at institutions of higher learning within the state
higher education system. The Legislature finds and declares that there is an apparent need
to narrow the gap in student charges between public universities and colleges and independent
institutions of higher education in Alabama in order to provide students with true economic
and academic freedom of choice in selecting a college; and to...

22-13A-2
Section 22-13A-2 Legislative findings. (a) The Legislature finds all of the following: (1)
Osteoporosis, a bone-thinning disease, is a major public health problem that poses a threat
to the health and quality of life to as many as 25 million Americans. (2) The 1.5 million
fractures each year that result from osteoporosis cause pain, disability, immobility and social
isolation, affecting quality of life and threatening the ability of people to live independently.
(3) Because osteoporosis progresses silently and without sensation over many years, and many
cases remain undiagnosed, the first symptom of the disease is often a fracture, typically
of the hip, spine, or wrist. (4) One of two women and one of five men will suffer an osteoporotic
fracture in their lifetime. (5) A woman's risk of hip fracture is equal to her combined risk
of breast, uterine, and ovarian cancer. (6) The annual direct and indirect costs of osteoporosis
to the health care system are estimated to be as high as...

11-5-30
Section 11-5-30 Legislative findings; construction. (a) The Legislature hereby finds, determines,
and declares all of the following: (1) An unattended and sudden death is one of society's
most tragic events and should receive the appropriate caring, competent, and thorough attention
of all levels of government. (2) A suspicious, sudden, or violent death is very difficult
to investigate and to accurately determine the cause and manner of death for the death certificate.
(3) Medical examiners and coroners determine the cause of death and with other forensic scientists
and investigators determine the manner of death. (4) Death certificates issued on unattended,
sudden, and violent deaths greatly impact government spending decisions, the living loved
ones, and insurance decisions so that the accuracy of the death certificate is of great concern
to the Legislature. (5) There are currently no minimum standards of training for county coroners.
(6) Local coroners or non-physician death...

22-11E-1
Section 22-11E-1 Legislative findings. (a) The Legislature finds the following: (1) Concussions
are one of the most commonly reported injuries in children and adolescents who participate
in sports and recreational activities. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates
that as many as 3,900,000 sports-related and recreation-related concussions occur in the United
States each year. A concussion is caused by a blow or motion to the head or body that causes
the brain to move rapidly inside the skull. The risk of catastrophic injuries or death is
significant when a concussion or head injury is not properly evaluated and managed. (2) Concussions
are a type of brain injury that can range from mild to severe and can disrupt the way the
brain normally works. Concussions can occur in any organized or unorganized sport or recreational
activity and can result from a fall or from participants colliding with each other, the ground,
or with obstacles. Concussions occur with or without...

41-10-350
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.)...

41-10-750
Section 41-10-750 Legislative Findings and Purpose. (a) The Legislature finds and declares
the following: (1) In recent years, withdrawals have been made from the Alabama Trust Fund
and the General Fund Rainy Day Account of the Alabama Trust Fund for current budgetary purposes.
The Constitution and laws of the State of Alabama require repayment of the withdrawals and
the Legislature recognizes the need to restore those funds to their prescribed levels. (2)
It is desirable and in the public interest to establish a public corporation of the State
of Alabama with the power to issue bonds for the purpose of making transfers to and deposits
in the Alabama Trust Fund and the General Fund Rainy Day Account of the Alabama Trust Fund,
to provide additional funds to the Alabama Medicaid Agency, and for paying the costs of transportation
projects, and to appropriate and pledge a portion of the revenues to be received by the state
from the settlement of certain claims against BP Exploration and...

5-27-1
Section 5-27-1 (Effective January 1, 2018) Legislative findings. The Legislature finds and
declares the following: (1) Federal law allows both depository financial institutions and
credit unions to hold savings promotion contests, subject to certain conditions and authorization
under state law. (2) Savings promotion contests in other states and countries have led to
an increase in the number and amount of funds in personal savings accounts. (3) Savings promotion
contests encourage people to save money by adding a feature to personal savings accounts that
includes a chance to win prizes. (4) Savings promotion contests are not lotteries because
they do not require individuals to pay consideration for a chance to win a prize, and the
individual maintains ownership of the money that is deposited into a savings account or other
qualifying account. (5) The prizes are funded through the interest that accrues across the
pool of savings accounts participating in the promotion contest. (6) It is...

26-23B-2
Section 26-23B-2 Legislative findings. The Legislature makes all of the following findings:
(1) Pain receptors (nociceptors) are present throughout the unborn child's entire body by
no later than 16 weeks after fertilization and nerves link these receptors to the brain's
thalamus and subcortical plate by no later than 20 weeks. (2) By eight weeks after fertilization,
the unborn child reacts to touch. After 20 weeks, the unborn child reacts to stimuli that
would be recognized as painful if applied to an adult human, for example by recoiling. (3)
For the purposes of surgery on unborn children, fetal anesthesia is routinely administered
and is associated with a decrease in stress hormones compared to their level when painful
stimuli is applied without such anesthesia. (4) In the unborn child, application of such painful
stimuli is associated with significant increases in stress hormones known as the stress response.
(5) Subjection to such painful stimuli is associated with long-term...
