Section 16-16A-7 Additional findings; bonds authorized; procedures. (a) The Legislature finds
that the number of students attending the several school systems located in those areas of
North Alabama that will be directly impacted by the 2005 BRAC and Subsequent BRAC Actions
will collectively increase by an estimated 9,000 students. As a result, there will be a need
for the construction of additional school facilities as well as the renovation of existing
school facilities. The Legislature also finds that the 2005 BRAC and Subsequent BRAC Actions
will have a positive impact on future receipts to the Education Trust Fund, as the significant
population growth in North Alabama will increase sales, income, and other tax collections.
Thus, it is an efficient use of state funds to allow such revenue growth to help pay for capital
improvement costs associated with BRAC-related school construction. (b) The Alabama Public
School and College Authority is hereby authorized to sell and issue its...

Section 22-6-163 Legislative findings; rules; collaboration; approval of agreements and contracts;
state action immunity; confidentiality of records; additional duties. (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...

Section 6-12-1 Legislative findings. The Legislature of Alabama finds as follows: (1) Cigarette
smoking presents serious public health concerns to the state and to the citizens of the state.
The Surgeon General has determined that smoking causes lung cancer, heart disease, and other
serious diseases, and that there are hundreds of thousands of tobacco-related deaths in the
United States each year. These diseases most often do not appear until many years after the
person in question begins smoking. (2) Cigarette smoking also presents serious financial concerns
for the state. Under certain health care programs, the state may have a legal obligation to
provide medical assistance to eligible persons for health conditions associated with cigarette
smoking, and those persons may have a legal entitlement to receive such medical assistance.
(3) Under these programs, the state pays millions of dollars each year to provide medical
assistance for these persons for health conditions associated...

Section 29-1-24 Ozone transport oversight. (a) This section may be referred to as the Ozone
Transport Oversight Act of 1997. (b) The Legislature of the State of Alabama finds all of
the following: (1) The Federal Clean Air Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq., contains
a comprehensive regulatory scheme for the control of emissions from mobile and stationary
sources. (2) Ozone and other air pollutants have declined substantially during the past 25
years throughout the United States due to implementation of the Clean Air Act, and additional
air quality improvements will result as the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments are implemented.
(3) The Northeast Ozone Transport Commission ("OTC"), in an effort to remedy the
serious ozone nonattainment conditions prevailing in urbanized areas of the Northeast, has
proposed emission control requirements for stationary and mobile sources more stringent than
those applicable to states outside of the Northeast Ozone Transport Region ("OTR"),
including a...

22-30E-2
Section 22-30E-2 Legislative findings; purpose and intent of chapter; establishment of voluntary
assessment and/or cleanup program for properties with potential environmental contamination.
(a) The Legislature finds that rural and urban property in Alabama may have areas of actual
or perceived contamination at levels that may not be subject to assessment or cleanup under
applicable laws and regulations. The Legislature finds that this perception of contamination
discourages the purchase and productive use of otherwise usable properties. The Legislature
further finds that the voluntary assessment and/or cleanup of such properties is in the public
interest. (b) The Legislature finds that industries and developers often give preference to
previously unused greenfield sites over previously used property due largely to concerns over
the financial and environmental liabilities which may be incurred in acquiring such previously
used property for reuse and redevelopment. The Legislature...

Section 34-23-92.1 Legislative findings; rulemaking authority; construction of section. (a)
The Legislature finds and declares all of the following: (1) The power to make rules regulating
the practice of pharmacy includes the power to prohibit unlicensed persons from practicing
pharmacy and the power to regulate how licensed persons practice pharmacy. (2) A primary goal
of the provision of health care is to prioritize patient safety and wellness. (3) The board
is in the best position to determine the practice of pharmacy that prioritizes patient safety
and wellness. (4) It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this section to immunize
the Board of Pharmacy and its members from liability under state and federal anti-trust laws
for the adoption of a rule that prioritizes patient safety and wellness but may be anti-competitive
when the effect on public safety and wellness is clearly demonstrated and documented by the
Board of Pharmacy. (b) Subject to subsection (c), rules adopted...

Section 34-27-8.1 Real Estate Commission - Legislative findings; rulemaking authority. (a)
The Legislature finds and declares all of the following: (1) The power to make rules regulating
the licensing of real estate brokers and salespersons includes the power to prohibit unqualified
persons from being licensed as a real estate broker or salesperson. (2) A primary goal of
the provision of real estate regulation is to prioritize consumer protection in real estate
transactions. (3) The Alabama Real Estate Commission is in the best position to determine
the real estate practices that prioritize consumer protection in real estate transactions.
(4) Prioritizing consumer protection may sometimes be at odds with the goals of state and
federal antitrust laws, which include the prioritization of competition. (5) It is the intent
of the Legislature to immunize the Alabama Real Estate Commission and its members from liability
under state and federal antitrust laws for the adoption of a rule that...

6-5-661
Section 6-5-661 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds that the willingness of medical
professionals to volunteer their services has been increasingly deterred by a perception that
they put personal assets at risk in the event of tort actions seeking damages arising from
their activities as volunteers. The Legislature further finds that volunteer medical professionals
and free medical clinics make a valuable contribution to the health and welfare of the people
of the state and that it is in the state's best interest to encourage medical professionals
to volunteer their services for the good of their communities, while at the same time providing
a reasonable basis for redress of claims which may arise relating to those activities. (Act
2000-680, p. 1383, ยง3.)...

37-16-2
Section 37-16-2 Legislative findings. (a) The Legislature finds and declares the following:
(1) More advanced communication capabilities, broadband facilities, and services are needed
in many rural and underserved areas of the state. (2) Electric providers in those rural and
underserved areas are capable of providing infrastructure for such advanced communications
capabilities and providing, directly or indirectly, broadband facilities or services. (3)
The investment in and development of advanced communications capabilities for providing broadband
facilities and services are necessary to better serve the public in those rural and underserved
areas. (4) The continued lack of advanced communication capabilities, broadband facilities,
and services in rural and underserved areas deprives citizens residing in these areas from
access to opportunities such that the state needs to take action to correct and eliminate
these discrepancies. (5) It is the public policy of this state to encourage...
