Section 38-15-2 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds that there is a substantial need
to protect children and youth from abuse and neglect by persons entrusted with their physical
custody, and from persons or organizations that advertise, hold themselves out, or lead others
to believe that they will provide them with health, therapeutic, rehabilitative, or disciplinary
services, and from persons employed or exercising authority over them, and who they depend
upon to provide the basic necessities of life. The Legislature further finds that abuse and
neglect often take the form of the withholding of the basic necessities of life, including
food, water, shelter, clothing, and health care through an affirmative act or omission. It
is the intent of the Legislature to implement a baseline of registration and regulation requirements
for religious, faith-based, or church nonprofit, other nonprofit, and for profit affiliated
youth residential facilities and institutions that have...

Section 22-6-40 Medicaid Agency authorized to increase financing and adjust insurance premiums
for family practitioners, pediatricians and obstetricians. The Legislature recognizes the
shortage of and the decline in obstetrical care in the rural areas of the state and the hardship
imposed on those who are required to travel many miles to obtain the necessary prenatal care
and ultimately delivery at term. The Legislature further recognizes the high infant mortality
rates that are attributed in part to inadequate care during pregnancy, delivery, and necessary
care after delivery. The Legislature further recognizes that the reduction in available care
and services is attributed in part to high liability insurance premiums. In recognizing the
ability of the Alabama Medicaid Agency to maximize state revenues, it is the intent of the
Legislature that the Alabama Medicaid Agency provide increased financing for family practitioners,
pediatricians and obstetricians to increase availability of...

declared: (1) That there exist in many communities within this state blighted areas, as defined
herein, or areas in the process of becoming blighted; (2) That such areas impair economic
values and tax revenues, cause an increase in and spread of disease and crime and constitute
a menace to the health, safety, morals, and welfare of the residents of the state, and that
these conditions necessitate excessive and disproportionate expenditures of public funds for
crime prevention and punishment, public health and safety, fire and accident protection, and
other public services and facilities; (3) That the clearance, replanning, and preparation
for rebuilding of these areas and the prevention or the reduction of blight and its causes

Section 37-14-1 Legislative declarations, findings, etc. The Legislature of the State of Alabama
has investigated the economic, financial and environmental impact associated with the potential
for duplication of electric distribution facilities used for the furnishing of retail electric
service. Among its findings are the conclusion that with respect to retail electric sales,
the benefit normally associated with competition between two or more entities for customers
is outweighed by the tremendous cost burden which must be borne by such customers associated
with the maintenance of two or more duplicate sets of facilities. It is the further finding
of the legislature that the existence of duplicate facilities for the furnishing of electricity
at retail is not in the public interest because of the adverse impact which such duplication
has on environmental and aesthetic values and on safety. It is therefore declared that the
policy of the State of Alabama is to ensure effective,...
