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.)...

27-26-2
Section 27-26-2 Purpose of chapter. It is hereby declared by the Legislature of the State of
Alabama that the availability of medical liability insurance at reasonable rates for the medical
profession, medical institutions, and other health care providers is essential to provide
adequate health services to the people of Alabama, and without such insurance, medical services
by the medical profession may be curtailed, and that while the need for such insurance is
increasing, availability is limited and likely to become increasingly so, unless remedial
legislation is enacted. The Legislature further finds and declares that by reason of complicated
and highly technical medical concepts, and the existence of sophisticated medical techniques,
decisions with respect to optional procedures of diagnosis and treatment have become increasingly
complex and are necessarily made on the basis of professional judgment, on which opinions
may and often will reasonably vary. It is the purpose of this...

Section 38-9B-1 Legislative findings. (a) The Legislature finds and declares the following:
(1) It is an essential function of state government to provide basic support for persons with
a mental or physical impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities,
whether the impairment is congenital or occurs by reason of accident, injury, age, or disease.
