Section 33-17-2 Legislative intent; construction of chapter. The Legislature hereby makes the
findings of facts and declaration of intent hereinafter set forth in this section. The construction
of a navigable waterway between Demopolis, Alabama and the Tennessee River, utilizing the
channel of the Tombigbee River, would provide a new transportation route of great importance
and would stimulate the development of commerce, agriculture and industry in many sections
of the state. Local flooding along the tributary streams of the Tombigbee River occurs frequently
in the growing and harvesting season and causes considerable damage to agriculture in the
affected sections of the state. Improvements in the channels of the tributary streams will
eliminate much of the damage caused by flooding and will also permit improved farming practices
and better land use. It is the intention of the Legislature by the passage of this chapter
to implement the provisions of Amendment No. 270 of the...

Section 16-60-82 Legislative findings of fact and declaration of intent. The Legislature hereby
makes the following findings of fact and declares its intent to be as follows: The number
of students enrolled in trade schools and colleges supported wholly or in part by the state
has increased greatly during recent years. Further increases in enrollment are anticipated
because of the increased rate of births, the increased need for skilled workers and other
factors. In order to meet these needs and to provide residents of this state with the opportunity
to receive adequate instruction in the arts and sciences and in useful skills and trades,
it is imperative that junior colleges and additional trade schools be constructed, equipped
and operated. The tax revenues and other funds currently available for trade schools and junior
colleges are not sufficient to permit immediate outlays of the large amounts of capital necessary
for such construction and equipment and at the same time to permit...

Section 22-30D-2 Legislative findings. (a) The Legislature of the State of Alabama makes the
following findings and declarations: (1) The soils, water, and air of this state constitute
unique and delicately balanced resources. (2) The protection of these resources is vital to
the economy of this state. (3) The preservation of waters of this state is a matter of the
highest urgency and priority as these waters provide a primary source of potable water in
this state and 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. (b) The Legislature makes the following additional findings: (1) Where contamination
of soils, waters, or air has occurred, remedial measures have often been delayed for long
periods while investigations of the extent of such contamination and...

Section 26-22-1 Legislative findings and intent. (a) The public policy of the State of Alabama
is to protect life, born, and unborn. This is particularly true concerning unborn life that
is capable of living outside the womb. The Legislature of the State of Alabama finds there
are abortions being done in Alabama after the time of viability and in violation of its public
policy. (b) The Legislature specifically finds the following: (1) Medical evidence shows there
is a survival rate of babies born between ages 23 weeks to 29 weeks gestational age of 64
percent to 94 percent. (2) In Webster v. Reproductive Health Services, 492 U.S. 499 (1989),
the United States Supreme Court determined that viability may occur as early as 23 to 24 weeks
gestational age. Also, the United States Supreme Court determined that requiring fetal viability
testing at 20 weeks gestational age is constitutional, because there is up to a four week
margin of error in determining gestational age. (3) In the latest...

intent of the Legislature that an environmental tag be issued by the state to be used as an
instrument to promote safe environmental practices, environmental awareness, environmental
education enhancement, and for the protection of Alabama's precious environment through education.
It is the desire of the Legislature to develop and provide comprehensive environmental education
programs in which students, teachers, citizens, businesses, and governmental entities can

Section 34-9-43.2 Legislative findings; rulemaking authority; liability; scope. (a) The Legislature
finds and declares all of the following: (1) The power to make rules regulating the practice
of dentistry and dental hygiene includes the power to prohibit unlicensed persons from practicing
dentistry and dental hygiene and the power to regulate how licensed persons practice the same.
(2) A primary goal of the provision of health care is to prioritize patient health, safety,
and welfare. (3) The board is in the best position to determine the dental practices that
affect and prioritize the health, safety, and welfare of the public. (4) It is the intent
of the Legislature in enacting this section to immunize the board, its members, employees,
and agents from liability under state and federal anti-trust laws for the adoption of a rule
that prioritizes patient health, safety, and welfare but appears to have elements that appear
anti-competitive or have an anti-competitive effect when the...

Section 41-4-350 Legislative findings; purpose. (a) The Legislature of Alabama hereby finds
and determines that the responsible stewardship of its state-owned and leased real property
is a proper governmental function of the State of Alabama. The Legislature finds that costs
for maintenance, construction, and leasing of real property in the state government comprise
a significant portion of available resources. The Legislature also finds that as one of the
largest owners and operators of buildings in Alabama, the state is a major consumer of energy.
It is therefore the intent of Act 2015-435 to establish centralized management of real property
through leasing administration, facilities maintenance and management, and construction management
that consists of expanded duties in existing divisions, as well as newly established divisions,
within the Department of Finance. In establishing this centralization, it is further the intent
of the Legislature to establish comprehensive real...

Section 6-5-540 Legislative intent. It is hereby declared by the Legislature of the State of
Alabama that a crisis threatens the delivery of medical services to the people of Alabama
and the health and safety of the citizens of this state are in jeopardy. In accordance with
the previous declaration of Legislature contained in Act 513 of the Regular Session of the
1975 Alabama Legislature it is the declared intent of this Legislature to insure that quality
medical 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
for alleged medical injury causes and contributes to an increase in health care costs and
places a heavy burden upon those who can least afford such increases, and that the threat
of such actions contributes to expensive medical procedures to be performed by physicians
and other health care providers which otherwise would not be considered necessary, and...

41-6A-2
Section 41-6A-2 Legislative intent. The Legislature finds that the development, management
and efficient use of energy resources and the conservation of energy is of prime importance
in an era of rising costs, foreign dependence and uncertain supplies. At the same time it
is also important to protect the economic, social and environmental values of the citizens
of the state. Such responsibilities require a comprehensive, coordinated capacity on the part
of the state to respond to the needs and demands of her citizens. It is therefore the intent
of the Legislature: (1) To ensure the wise development and efficient use of traditional energy
sources; (2) To encourage and assist the development, the use of renewable energy resources,
demonstration, and placement in the marketplace of viable, alternative energy sources, more
efficient uses of energy sources and other appropriate technology; (3) To encourage the conservation
and efficient use of all energy resources and to provide a...

Section 22-6-233 Legislative findings; certification of collaborators; powers of Medicaid Agency;
state action immunity. (a) The Legislature declares that collaboration among public payers,
private health carriers, third party purchasers, and providers to identify appropriate service
delivery systems and reimbursement methods in order to align incentives in support of integrated
and coordinated health care delivery is in the best interest of the public. Collaboration
pursuant to this article is to provide quality health care at the lowest possible cost to
Alabama citizens who are Medicaid eligible. The Legislature, therefore, declares that this
health care delivery system affirmatively contemplates the foreseeable displacement of competition,
such that any anti-competitive effect may be attributed to the state's policy to displace
competition in the delivery of a coordinated system of health care for the public benefit.
In furtherance of this goal, the Legislature declares its intent...
