Section 9-16-90 Environmental protection performance standards. (a) Any permit issued pursuant
to this article to conduct surface mining operations shall require that such surface coal
mining operations will meet all applicable performance standards of this article, and such
other requirements as the regulatory authority shall promulgate. (b) General performance standards
shall be applicable to all surface coal mining and reclamation operations and shall require

the land in the future through surface coal mining can be minimized; (2) Restore the land
affected to a condition capable of supporting the uses which it was capable of supporting
prior to any mining, or higher or better uses of which there is reasonable likelihood, so
long as such use or uses do not present any actual or probable hazard to...

26-23C-2
Section 26-23C-2 Legislative findings. (a) The Legislature of the State of Alabama finds all
of the following: (1) Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, P.L. 111-148,
federal tax dollars, via affordability credits, subsidies provided to individuals between
150-400 percent of the federal poverty level, are routed to exchange participating health
insurance plans, including plans that provide coverage for abortions. (2) Federal funding
of insurance plans that provide abortions is an unprecedented change in federal abortion funding
policy. The Hyde Amendment, as passed each year in the Labor Health and Human Services Appropriations
bill, and the Federal Employee Health Benefits Program, FEHBP, prohibit federal funds from
subsidizing health insurance plans that provide abortions. Under this new law, however, exchange
participating health insurance plans that provide abortions can receive federal funds. (3)
The provision of federal funding for health insurance plans that...

Section 6-5-570 Statement of legislative intent. It is hereby declared by the Legislature of
the State of Alabama that a crisis threatens the delivery of legal service to the people of
Alabama and that the quality of legal services which should be made available to the citizens
of this state is in jeopardy. It is the declared intent of this Legislature to insure that
quality legal services continue to be available at reasonable costs to the citizens of the
State of Alabama. This Legislature finds and declares that the increasing threat of legal
actions against legal service providers contributes to an increase in the cost of legal services
and places a heavy burden upon those who can least afford such cost and that the threat of
such legal actions contributes to the expense of providing legal services to be performed
by legal service providers which otherwise would not be considered necessary, and that the
spiraling costs and decreasing availability of essential legal services caused...

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...

40-13-80
Section 40-13-80 (Repealed effective August 1, 2019) Legislative findings. The Legislature
makes the following findings: (1) The Legislature understands the need to properly fund state
agencies in order to match federal funds for enforcement programs. (2) The Surface Mining
Commission is the delegated agency in this state authorized to enforce the federal Office
of Surface Mining (OSM) programs, with a 50 percent match required in order to access federal
funds. (3) Due to very limited General Fund monies available, along with numerous mining companies
going out of business over the last eight years which has reduced permit fees and other monies
paid to the Surface Mining Commission, there is a need for increased funding from other sources
in addition to permit fee increases. (Act 2017-369, ยง1.)...

22-35-1
Section 22-35-1 Legislative findings and intent. The Legislature of the State of Alabama finds
and declares that certain lands of Alabama constitute unique and delicately balanced resources;
that the protection of these resources is vital to the economy of this state; and that the
preservation of waters is a matter of the highest urgency and priority as these waters provide
a primary source of potable water in this state; that such use can only be served effectively
by maintaining the quality of waters in as close to a comparable previous condition as possible,
taking into account multiple use accommodations necessary to provide the broadest possible
promotion of public and private interests. The Legislature further finds that where contamination
of soils or waters has occurred, remedial measures have often been delayed for long periods
while determinations as to liability and the extent of liability are made; that such delays
result in the continuation and intensification of the...
