Section 6-5-661 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds that the willingness of medical
professionals to volunteer their services has been increasingly deterred by a perception that
they put personal assets at risk in the event of tort actions seeking damages arising from
their activities as volunteers. The Legislature further finds that volunteer medical professionals
and free medical clinics make a valuable contribution to the health and welfare of the people
of the state and that it is in the state's best interest to encourage medical professionals
to volunteer their services for the good of their communities, while at the same time providing
a reasonable basis for redress of claims which may arise relating to those activities. (Act
2000-680, p. 1383, §3.)...

Section 2-6-11 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds that the Garrett Coliseum and the
Alabama Agricultural Center, hereinafter the facility, is a significant historic facility
owned by the State of Alabama and which faces imminent closure because of operational and
public safety concerns if it is not restored, renovated, and improved. The facility was designed
in 1949 by Betty Robinson, the first woman graduate from Auburn University with a degree in
architecture. The facility, completed in 1953, is of historic and cultural significance to
the State of Alabama and its restoration will enhance opportunities for economic development
that will benefit the state. The Legislature further finds that the most efficient way to
restore the facility and to operate it profitably is for the Alabama Agricultural Center Board,
hereinafter referred to as the board, to enter into agreements with public institutions and
other entities through which the use of private funding is primarily used to...

Section 34-21-120 Findings; purpose. (a) The party states find and declare all of the following:
(1) The health and safety of the public are affected by the degree of compliance with and
the effectiveness of enforcement activities related to state nurse licensure laws. (2) Violations
of nurse licensure and other laws regulating the practice of nursing may result in injury
or harm to the public. (3) The expanded mobility of nurses and the use of advanced communication
technologies as part of a national health care delivery system requires greater coordination

modalities and technology make compliance with individual state nurse licensure laws difficult
and complex. (5) Uniformity of nurse licensure requirements throughout the states promotes
public safety and public health benefits. (b) The general purpose of this compact is to achieve
all of the following: (1) Facilitate the responsibility of...

Section 45-46-90 Legislative findings. (a) The Legislature has found and determined and does
hereby declare that in Marengo County and in all municipalities situated in the county the
following conditions exist: (1) That the recent improvement of the state's inland waterways
is and will continue bringing about an ever expanding use of such waterways, and the tremendous
growth of commerce on such waterways has created a critical need for industrial expansion
and development in general and a particularly critical need for wharves, piers, docks, quays,
grain elevators, cotton compresses, warehouses, water and rail terminals, and other structures
and facilities needful in such commerce and for the convenient use of such waterways. (2)
That the continued economic growth of the county and municipalities and the general health

45-49A-82
Section 45-49A-82 Legislative findings; purpose. The Legislature of Alabama finds and declares
that the health, safety, and welfare of the people of the City of Prichard, in Mobile County,
Alabama, 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 city 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 part to encourage new economic activity
in this depressed area 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.

Section 22-6-233 Legislative findings; certification of collaborators; powers of Medicaid Agency;
state action immunity. (a) The Legislature declares that collaboration among public payers,
private health carriers, third party purchasers, and providers to identify appropriate service
delivery systems and reimbursement methods in order to align incentives in support of integrated
and coordinated health care delivery is in the best interest of the public. Collaboration
pursuant to this article is to provide quality health care at the lowest possible cost to
Alabama citizens who are Medicaid eligible. The Legislature, therefore, declares that this
health care delivery system affirmatively contemplates the foreseeable displacement of competition,
such that any anti-competitive effect may be attributed to the state's policy to displace
competition in the delivery of a coordinated system of health care for the public benefit.
In furtherance of this goal, the Legislature declares its intent...
