(1) That publicly-owned (as distinguished from investor-owned and community-nonprofit) hospitals

institutions therein are no longer able to provide, from taxes and other general fund moneys,

26-22-1
Section 26-22-1 Legislative findings and intent. (a) The public policy of the State of Alabama
is to protect life, born, and unborn. This is particularly true concerning unborn life that
is capable of living outside the womb. The Legislature of the State of Alabama finds there
are abortions being done in Alabama after the time of viability and in violation of its public
policy. (b) The Legislature specifically finds the following: (1) Medical evidence shows there
is a survival rate of babies born between ages 23 weeks to 29 weeks gestational age of 64
percent to 94 percent. (2) In Webster v. Reproductive Health Services, 492 U.S. 499 (1989),
the United States Supreme Court determined that viability may occur as early as 23 to 24 weeks
gestational age. Also, the United States Supreme Court determined that requiring fetal viability
testing at 20 weeks gestational age is constitutional, because there is up to a four week
margin of error in determining gestational age. (3) In the latest...

41-10-420
Section 41-10-420 Legislative intent. The Legislature finds that the Real Estate Commission
has acquired certain real property in Montgomery, Alabama, title to which is in the name of
the State of Alabama, for the purpose of erecting a building to house the offices of the Real
Estate Commission. The Real Estate Commission has also received authority from the Legislature
to expend certain of its funds in the construction of such a facility. The Legislature further
finds that the Real Estate Commission is unable to complete this building project without
additional funding provided through temporary financing arrangements. Therefore, it is in
the best interest of the State of Alabama and Real Estate Commission to establish a public
corporation with the powers and authority necessary to construct and lease to the commission
a facility adequate to serve the needs of the commission. (Acts 1990, No. 90-293, p. 396,
§1.)...

Section 20-2-190.1 Legislative intent. (a) The Legislature finds the following: (1) The danger
of methamphetamine manufacture to the public and especially to law enforcement involved in

law by purchasing multiple quantities of pseudoephedrine and ephedrine compounds for the intent
of combining or using such quantities for the purposes of manufacturing or attempting to manufacture
methamphetamine. (Act 2012-237, p. 445, §1.)...
