Section 45-10-20 Regulation of liquor traffic. (a) The Legislature of Alabama is cognizant of "Opinion of the Justices No. 376," issued April 9, 2002, which states that a local bill for Cherokee County "purporting to allow by local law the creation of a traffic in alcohol that does not presently exist in smaller municipalities in Cherokee County, does not fit within the ambit of the last paragraph of Section 104 permitting the Legislature to pass local laws regulating or prohibiting such traffic." The effect of this Opinion of the Justices is to greatly limit situations in which local laws may be enacted regarding alcoholic beverages. This opinion was, in part, based upon a determination that, "Generally, 'regulate' implies the exercise of control over something that already exists." While respecting the constitutional authority granted to the Alabama Supreme Court to interpret the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, this body disagrees with the conclusion reached by the court concerning...

Section 20-2-210 Legislative findings. The Alabama Legislature hereby finds that the diversion, abuse, and misuse of prescription medications classified as controlled substances under the Alabama Uniform Controlled Substances Act constitutes a serious threat to the health and welfare of the citizens of the State of Alabama. The Legislature further finds that establishment of a controlled substances prescription database to monitor the prescribing and dispensing of controlled substances will materially assist state regulators and practitioners authorized to prescribe and dispense controlled substances in the prevention of diversion, abuse, and misuse of controlled substances prescription medication through the provision of education and information, early intervention, and prevention of diversion, and investigation and enforcement of existing laws governing the use of controlled substances. (Act 2004-443, p. 781, §1.)...

Section 45-49-42 Legislative findings. The Legislature of the State of Alabama declares and finds that the business of operating massage parlors as defined herein are businesses affecting the public health, safety, and general welfare; that such businesses have been used in Mobile County and elsewhere as fronts for the conduct of prostitution, assignation, and lewdness; that the method of operation of such business generally is such that female persons bargain with male customers for illicit sexual activities, including prostitution and sodomy, only after performing so-called massages while the male customer is nude, and after engaging the customer as part of the so-called massage in sexual foreplay to the point of sexual arousal; that because of the method of operation the gathering of evidence by law enforcement officers sufficient for the officers to make an arrest or to institute some other civil proceeding requires male officers to pose as customers, and to perform degrading,...

Section 25-8-32 Legislative findings and intent. The Legislature has found that Alabama law has not kept pace with federal standards regulating the employment of minors to the extent that it has become increasingly difficult for employers to comply with conflicting state and federal child labor requirements. Accordingly, numerous changes are necessary to make the child labor laws of Alabama compatible with the United States Department of Labor regulations governing the employment of minors in nonagricultural occupations. Similarly, there is also a need to remove anachronistic language and make clarifications to existing standards. In view of the foregoing findings, the Legislature through this chapter intends to do all of the following: (1) Conform with 17 federal hazardous orders. (2) Remove exemptions for domestic service and the grading or handling, or both, of agricultural products. (3) Add a restriction for occupations which involve working at heights exceeding six feet, as well...

22-40A-2
Section 22-40A-2 Legislative findings; purpose. (a) The Legislature finds as follows: (1) The Alabama Scrap Tire Study Commission (STSC) submitted a report as required by Section 22-40-10, and SJR 152, adopted May 11, 2000. The section and the resolution both directed the STSC to study the present law and recommend revisions that are needed. The report from the STSC recommended substantial changes to the present law, which are incorporated into this chapter. The study and report were necessary to address the estimated 14 to 20 million tires stockpiled or illegally dumped. (2) This state generates over five million scrap tires annually. Of these tires, an estimated two million are recycled annually and an estimated two million are disposed of legally in landfills. Many of the remaining tires are disposed of illegally and therefore may present a public health and/or environmental threat to the citizens of Alabama. (b) This chapter has the following stated purposes, to: (1) Remediate...

Section 45-35-20 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds all of the following: (1) The authority of the Legislature to enact local laws regulating the liquor traffic is preserved in Section 104 of the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, now appearing as Section 104 of the Official Recompilation of the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, as amended. (2) Relying on prior judicial opinions of the federal courts, it has been clearly established that reducing the secondary effects associated with adult entertainment businesses serves and furthers a substantial governmental interest, particularly when the serving of alcohol is involved. (3) Any form of nudity and sexual conduct in establishments that serve alcohol or deal in alcoholic beverages encourages the conduct of prostitution, attempted rape, rape, murder, and assaults on police officers in and around an establishment dealing in or permitting the consumption of alcoholic beverages, and that actual and simulated nudity and sexual conduct...
