Section 6-5-751 Legislative findings and objectives. (a) The Legislature finds that the recruitment,
establishment, development, and growth of the commercial aviation aircraft manufacturing industry
in the State of Alabama is important to the economic health of the state and its agencies
and institutions and to the general health, welfare, and prosperity of its citizens. The Legislature
finds that it is reasonable and important to the national and international companies and
businesses involved in the commercial aviation aircraft manufacturing industry locating or
considering locating in the State of Alabama to expect that civil liability actions against
them, if any, will be governed by tort principles generally accepted in other jurisdictions
outside this state that are home to such companies and businesses, but which are consistent
with the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, and this state's public policy. The Legislature
finds that the principles addressed in this article, namely,...

adequate financial resources be readily available to provide for the expeditious plugging
of such wells and to provide a means for doing so without delay; that the Legislature has

Section 22-21B-2 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds and declares: (1) It is the public
policy of the State of Alabama to respect and protect the fundamental right of conscience
