Section 29-2-1 Legislative findings and intent. The Legislature hereby finds and declares as
follows: improving the efficiency, cost effectiveness and performance of all branches of government
can only be achieved with proper oversight, accountability, and transparency in government
decision making and processes for service delivery; a long-range program of highway development

public as well as the industrial and agricultural growth of the state; the highway system

40-6A-1
Section 40-6A-1 Legislative intent. The Legislature recognizes the necessity of an equitable,
fair, and efficiently administered ad valorem tax program to the revenue producing functions
of government, both state and local, and it further recognizes that since the implementation
of statewide reappraisal of property and the equalization of ad valorem taxes in this state,
the complexity and burden on the officials charged with assessing and collecting such taxes
has greatly increased. Likewise, great disparity has developed among the various counties
of this state in both the adequacy of compensation of such officials and the distribution
of the cost of administering the ad valorem tax program among the various agencies and funds
receiving such taxes. Therefore, in order to secure the services of competent officials in
all counties of this state to administer the ad valorem tax program and to fairly distribute
the burden of funding the costs of such program, it is the intent of this...

currently exists a significant need for health, nursing, medical, rehabilitative and related
housing structures for those residents of this state who have served their state and nation

and authority that may be necessary to enable it to accomplish the establishment and operation
of a state veterans' home or homes. This chapter shall be liberally construed in conformity

12-23A-3
Section 12-23A-3 Legislative intent. (a) The Legislature recognizes that a critical need exists
in this state for the criminal justice system to more effectively address the number of defendants
who are involved with substance abuse or addiction. For the criminal justice system to maintain
credibility, court and community alternatives for the substance abuse and addiction involved
defendant must be expanded. A growing body of research demonstrates the impact of substance
abuse on public safety, personal health, and health care costs, the spread of communicable
disease, educational performance and attainment, work force reliability and productivity,
family safety, and financial stability. Requiring accountability and effective treatment,
in addition to or in place of, conventional and expensive incarceration, will promote public
safety, the welfare of the individuals involved, reduce the burden upon the State Treasury
and benefit the common welfare of this state. The goals of this...
