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,...

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 36-1A-2 Purpose. The Legislature finds that: (1) It is the policy of the state to lessen
the burden of government at both the state and local levels in meeting the needs of human
health, welfare and human care services by supporting charitable giving; (2) There is a need
to provide a single convenient channel through which public employees may support charitable
fund-raising federations and agencies of their choice while minimizing workplace disruption
and administrative cost to Alabama taxpayers; (3) It is necessary to establish a system to
plan and implement one annual charitable fund-raising campaign among state employees in order
to ensure that the funds will be collected and distributed in a responsible manner; and (4)
It is the policy of the state to permit time in the working day during the prescribed campaign
period sufficient for volunteers to participate in the state campaign, with the approval of
the department heads. (Acts 1991, No. 91-561, p. 1037, §2.)...

Section 27-1-10.1 Insurance coverage for drugs to treat life-threatening illnesses. (a) The
Legislature finds and declares the following: (1) The citizens of this state rely upon health
insurance to cover the cost of obtaining health care and it is essential that the citizens'
expectation that their health care costs will be paid by their insurance policies is not disappointed
and that they obtain the coverage necessary and appropriate for their care within the terms
of their insurance policies. (2) Some insurers deny payment for drugs that have been approved
by the Federal Food and Drug Administration, hereafter referred to as FDA, when the drugs
are used for indications other than those stated in the labelling approved by the FDA, off-label
use, while other insurers with similar coverage terms do pay for off-label use. (3) Denial
of payment for off-label use can interrupt or effectively deny access to necessary and appropriate
treatment for a person being treated for a...

Section 26-21-1 Legislative purpose and findings. (a) It is the intent of the Legislature in
enacting this parental consent provision to further the important and compelling state interests
of: (1) protecting minors against their own immaturity, (2) fostering the family structure
and preserving it as a viable social unit, and (3) protecting the rights of parents to rear

abortion are serious and can be lasting, particularly when the patient is immature, (3) the

Section 11-65-1 Legislative declarations and findings. The Legislature hereby finds and declares
as follows: (1) As the basis for enacting Act No. 84-131, the Legislature found and determined
that the conduct within Class 1 municipalities in the state of horse racing events and pari-mutuel
wagering thereon will generate additional revenues for governmental and charitable purposes,
provide additional jobs for the residents of the state and benefit the businesses related

determine through referendum whether horse racing and pari-mutuel wagering thereon will be

Section 16-1-51 Grants to public schools for advanced educational and specialized programs
for gifted and talented children. (a) The Legislature finds and declares the following: (1)
It is vital that Alabama's public schools challenge and encourage students who are capable
of completing accelerated academic work. (2) Programs to encourage accelerated students can
often be maintained by schools, after an initial start cost, with funding roughly equivalent
to what they currently receive. (3) This state should encourage schools to develop and implement
gifted and talented student programs to provide options for students capable of doing advanced
class work. (b)(1) The State Department of Education shall award available grants to public
schools for the purpose of initiating new programs or continuing existing programs to offer

Section 16-16A-7 Additional findings; bonds authorized; procedures. (a) The Legislature finds
that the number of students attending the several school systems located in those areas of
North Alabama that will be directly impacted by the 2005 BRAC and Subsequent BRAC Actions
will collectively increase by an estimated 9,000 students. As a result, there will be a need
for the construction of additional school facilities as well as the renovation of existing
school facilities. The Legislature also finds that the 2005 BRAC and Subsequent BRAC Actions
will have a positive impact on future receipts to the Education Trust Fund, as the significant
population growth in North Alabama will increase sales, income, and other tax collections.
Thus, it is an efficient use of state funds to allow such revenue growth to help pay for capital
improvement costs associated with BRAC-related school construction. (b) The Alabama Public
School and College Authority is hereby authorized to sell and issue its...
