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...

Alabama that a crisis threatens the delivery of medical services to the people of Alabama

Law 103-209, 42 U.S.C. 5119, et seq., the states are required to implement a computerized
