Section 2-11-71 Declaration of purpose. The purpose of this article is to improve the grade
and quality of fresh fruits and vegetables produced in Alabama in order that they may sell
in competition with those produced in other areas. The fruit and vegetable industry is of
great economic importance not only to the farmers of Alabama but to the general economy of
the state, and it has been found that fruits and vegetables produced and packed in Alabama
are generally of substandard quality. Other states have enacted laws providing for accurate
labeling and shipping point inspection and grading of fruits and vegetables which has resulted
in improving their quality and grade to the economic gain and benefit of producers. Therefore,
it is deemed for the best interest of the agricultural economy of the State of Alabama to
regulate the shipping and packing of fresh fruits and vegetables in containers by requiring
accurate labeling and requiring inspection and grading for such products under...

Section 27-54-1 Legislative intent; public policy. (a) The Legislature finds the following:
(1) Mental illness affects many citizens of this state each year, resulting in anguish, grief,
