Section 41-10-720 Legislative findings. The Legislature makes the following findings: (1) At
any given time, the level of activity in our construction industry is a primary yardstick
for measuring the overall economic health of this country and this state, and that the success
and stability of the building, manufacturing, and commercial businesses are dependent upon
a sufficient supply of skilled artisans and craft persons who can produce quality products
that inspire public confidence. The State of Alabama and the nation has a great need for a
program that provides for the recruitment of, and training programs and opportunities for,

Section 9-14C-1 Legislative findings. (a) The Legislature finds that the land now known as
Red Mountain Greenway and Recreational Area, the principal iron ore mining location for the

Section 25-8-32 Legislative findings and intent. The Legislature has found that Alabama law
has not kept pace with federal standards regulating the employment of minors to the extent
that it has become increasingly difficult for employers to comply with conflicting state and
federal child labor requirements. Accordingly, numerous changes are necessary to make the
child labor laws of Alabama compatible with the United States Department of Labor regulations
governing the employment of minors in nonagricultural occupations. Similarly, there is also
a need to remove anachronistic language and make clarifications to existing standards. In
view of the foregoing findings, the Legislature through this chapter intends to do all of
the following: (1) Conform with 17 federal hazardous orders. (2) Remove exemptions for domestic
service and the grading or handling, or both, of agricultural products. (3) Add a restriction
for occupations which involve working at heights exceeding six feet, as well...
