Section 22-35-1 Legislative findings and intent. The Legislature of the State of Alabama finds
and declares that certain lands of Alabama constitute unique and delicately balanced resources;
that the protection of these resources is vital to the economy of this state; and that the
preservation of waters is a matter of the highest urgency and priority as these waters provide
a primary source of potable water in this state; 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. The Legislature further finds that where contamination
of soils or waters has occurred, remedial measures have often been delayed for long periods
while determinations as to liability and the extent of liability are made; that such delays
result in the continuation and intensification of the...

Section 9-17-130 Legislative findings and declaration. The Legislature of the State of Alabama
finds and declares that the protection of Alabama's environment is vital to the economy of
this state; that coalbed methane gas wells are an important source of natural gas for use
in industry and by consumers thereof in Alabama and are becoming increasingly common in Alabama
as the technology for such wells advances; that the broadest possible promotion of public
and private interests requires that coalbed methane gas wells be properly plugged when abandoned;
that delays therein may affect the environment or public health, safety and welfare; that
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
heretofore authorized the State Oil and Gas Board of Alabama to require that operators of
such wells provide evidence of financial responsibility to cover the costs of...

Section 2-6A-1 Declaration of policy. It is the finding of the Legislature that, despite the
fact that agriculture has been and continues to be the backbone of the economy of the State
of Alabama, increasing numbers of the state's farmers and agricultural businessmen are losing
their livelihood due to conditions beyond their control caused by the current economic situation
in agriculture and certain structural changes that are occurring in the economy of both the
state and the United States. A crisis has developed in the state's agricultural sector that
is not and cannot be met with existing programs and resources, with the result that more and
more Alabama farmers and agricultural businessmen are being forced to leave farming or to
seek supplemental employment, but without the provision of any coordinated program of assistance
to help them retrain and make the adjustment to other forms of economic livelihood or to acquire
the needed supplemental skills. The Legislature thus deems it...

Section 22-22A-2 Legislative intent and purposes of chapter. The Legislature finds the resources
of the state must be managed in a manner compatible with the environment, and the health and
welfare of the citizens of the state. To respond to the needs of its environment and citizens,
the state must have a comprehensive and coordinated program of environmental management. It
is therefore the intent of the Legislature to improve the ability of the state to respond
in an efficient, comprehensive and coordinated manner to environmental problems, and thereby
assure for all citizens of the state a safe, healthful and productive environment. (1) To
this end an Alabama Department of Environmental Management is created by this chapter within
the Executive Branch of State Government in order to effect the grouping of state agencies
which have primary responsibility for administering environmental legislation into one department,
to promote economy and efficiency in the operation and management...

Section 31-5A-1 Legislative intent. The Legislature hereby finds and determines that there
currently exists a significant need for health, nursing, medical, rehabilitative and related
housing structures for those residents of this state who have served their state and nation
in its armed forces. The Legislature further finds and determines that in order to meet this
need, it is necessary for there to be established a state veterans' home or homes to be operated
by the State Department of Veterans' Affairs, and to vest in such department those powers
and authority that may be necessary to enable it to accomplish the establishment and operation
of a state veterans' home or homes. This chapter shall be liberally construed in conformity
with the purposes expressed. (Acts 1988, 1st. Sp. Sess., No. 88-776, p. 184, ยง1.)...

Section 6-5-520 Intent of Legislature; legislative findings; collateral source rule modified.
The Legislature finds that product liability litigation has increased substantially and the
cost of such litigation has risen in recent years. The Legislature further finds that these
increases have an impact upon the price and availability of products. It is the belief of
the Legislature that there are special reasons for modifying the collateral source rule in
this state as it applies to product liability actions. The Legislature finds that the recovery
by plaintiffs of medical and hospital expenses as damages where plaintiffs are reimbursed
for the same medical and hospital expenses from other sources contributes to the increase
in the cost of product liability litigation. It is the intent of the Legislature that plaintiffs
be compensated fully for any medical or hospital expenses incurred as a result of injuries
sustained from a breach of product liability laws, but that plaintiffs not...

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 6-5-500 Intent of Legislature; legislative findings. It is the intent of the Legislature
that a comprehensive system consisting of the time for commencement of actions, for discoverability
of actions based upon insidious disease and the repose of actions shall be instituted in this
state. The Legislature finds that in order to assure the rights of all persons, and to provide
for the fair, orderly, and efficient administration of product liability actions in the courts
of this state, a complete and unified approach to the time in which product liability actions
may be brought and maintained is required. The Legislature finds that product liability actions
and litigation have increased substantially, and the cost of such litigation has risen in
recent years. The Legislature further finds that these increases are having an impact upon
consumer prices, and upon the availability, cost, and use of product liability insurance,
thus, affecting the availability of compensation for...
