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...

finds and declares that: (1) All waters of the state, whether found on the surface of the
ground or underneath the surface of the ground, are among the basic resources of the State
of Alabama; (2) The use of waters of the state for human consumption is recognized as a priority
use of the state and it is the intent of this chapter that no limitation upon the use of water
for human consumption shall be imposed except in emergency situations after the Office of

of such waters should be conserved and managed to enable the people of this state to realize
the full beneficial use thereof and to maintain such water resources for use in the future;
(4) The general welfare of the people of this state is dependent upon the dedication of the
water resources of the State of Alabama to beneficial use to the fullest...

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...

45-35-20
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...
